The only caveat is its 20 lb. weight limit; that's what the conspicuous marking sticker says. Oddly, I got a set of pannier supports for it too. I can't imagine needing panniers and a rack and not needing more than 20 lbs. capacity...
That could mean:
- Panniers only, and bulky but light cargo
- The rack is conservatively rated for the weakest possible seatpost at the longest extension
A nice bar bag might be a good idea for a Krampus. Something a bit bigger than my burrito bag. Maybe a fanny pack too?
