Topeak, Axiom, Delta, Planet Bike...all make fine racks that aren't as complicated and cheaply made. Plus if something does happen they will support you more than some fake Amazon/Alibaba and his 40 thieves brand is going to do. There are even other no-name racks from the Billionaire Bezos that look better than that one at basically the same price, I am not recommending any of them just noting that some look better. However there are also a lot that claim ridiculous carrying capacities which would beyond overload those racks and are more weight than I would carry on my Tubus rack which I would actually trust to be able to carry those weights once some of which are double the capacity and look flimsier than a sheet of loose leaf paper in the wind.
Sheesh. I didn’t look at the description before my earlier post,
I would not put 55 lbs. on that thing, if I would put anything on that thing.
Also notice that one part of the description reads “rear seat mount”, but another part reads that you need mounting holes. I don’t trust any seller that can get things straight. And look at all those nuts a bolts to come loose. My Nitto rack attaches with 4 bolts. All other joints are welded.
