Anyways, here is a rack that is well made, not wildly expensive, and well designed. Easy to mount and adjust and it securely holds weight.

There is no way that the Journey rack can hold…checks site…154 lbs! Axiom is very bad about over-rating their load capacity but that claim is wildly off the mark. I would doubt that it can hold 70 pounds, much less 70 kilograms. I’d be dubious that it could hold 50 lbs. Tubus racks say they can hold 57 lbs and they are made of steel. They say they have been tested to 88 lbs which I can also believe. But an aluminum rack can’t hold nearly twice what, arguably, is one of the strongest racks around.
