Axiom Streamliner Anyone?
http://www.axiomgear.com/products/ge...eamliner-road/
i like the extra heel clearence and ease mounting, but i am wondering if the single eyelet mount at the top with cause any problems, as in un-balanced load causing a bend in the arm, etc etc... so, if anyone has experience or knows of anyone who does, let me know before i order my new rack. |
I have this rack. I had no issues at all other than tightening the bolts at the bottom of the rack once a month. I found the material used in the bracket was strong enough, I would ride with only one pannier loaded on the right side.
My only problem going into this season has nothing to do with the rack. My new bike doesn't have eyelets in the rear, so I will have to either get a seat post rack or mount the streamliner to the wheel. |
I have that rack as well. I have only used panniers on it once, but I have ridden the bike while sitting on the rack. It seems plenty strong.
It is made to be mounted on the QR skewer, but I tried that and didn't like it because I couldn't remove the rear wheel without taking the rack off first. I instead mounted it on the dropout eyelets. I'll give it a better workout next year. |

I also found that it interfered with my cascadia fenders - the narrowness of the rack and its location on my bike (paddy wagon - it has relatively short chainstays) meant that the nuts that hold the fender stays in place interfered with the arms of the rack. Otherwise it's great - plenty of heel clearance, which is predominately why I bought it. |
well, after reading alot online, i skipped it and went for the topeak super tourist for disk brakes.
