No one…no one!…is going to carry that much of a load on the rear rack of a bicycle. Like I said above, it’s the equivalent of 2 bags of cement.

As I’ve said before, I suspect that someone got the unit wrong and Axiom just stuck with the claimed capacity even though it is a stupid claim. 70 lbs (which is a bit too high in my opinion) is perfectly adequate for a load limitation. If you are carrying more than that on a rear rack, you are doing something wrong anyway.
Well if I hadnt gotten your point the first 4 times you ranted, now that you ranted for a 5th time even after saying I seem to get your point, I now get your point.

The horse was beaten to a pulp days ago- put the stick down. I havent been actually disagreeing with you, Ive just been poking you because you were hyperfocused on something that doesnt even matter to this thread.
