4.0 out of 5 stars This A Good Suspension Bike Rack for Bicycle Commuting, April 3, 2008

If you need to buy a seat-post type rack because you have a suspension-type bicycle, this rack works well for bicycle commuting. If you have a traditional "hardtail" bicycle, I would stick to a traditional rack. Previous reviewers reported two problems and I road-tested this rack against their comments.
(1) First problem reported by another reviewer was the rack not staying in place. I didn't have this problem at all. Remember to tighten the screws alternately a little at a time (top right, then bottom left, then top left, then bottom right). Tighten screws alternately and repeat several times until all screws are tight, and your rack shouldn't slide. (Don't tighten one screw all the way then go on to the next; alternate each a little at a time so the tension is even.)
(2) Second problem reported by another reviewer was the loaded bike bags bumped into the spokes and caused damage. I tested the bags at both the 25-pound limit and the 40-pound limit. If you turn sharply, get up speed, or go over a bump, the loaded bags can definitely bump into your spokes. You wouldn't want to fully load the bags for cross-country or sport riding. I just use my bike to commute to work, so I tested it by stopping on the way home to get groceries. At 25-pounds (bread, milk, canned food), there is no real problem, but at 40-pounds (one bag of cat litter loaded on each side), the right-hand bag did tend to bump my spokes if I got up any speed. So if you fully load your bags, go very slow & easy. Try the hard-sided "grocery getter" bags from Sunlite brand.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well Crafted; Well Met, August 8, 2006

I bought this because it looked perfect for our needs. It is well-designed: backbone tube is hollow with a cap, perfect for stashing tubes or tools; four-bolt post attachment has hefty Allen screws for limpet-like rigidity. Quality is quite good: light but very strong; excellent welding. We now have a women's Bianchi with a 15.5" frame. If you have such, or an independent suspension bike, this is the only pannier-capable rack to have. My old panniers from my road bike went on as quickly and securely as they did on the Blackurn rack.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy it, you'll love it., November 26, 2008

I was tired of carrying a bag on my daily commute, so I bought this rack. It's great! I read reviews prior to putting it on. The piece of rubber inner tube between the mount and the seat post is a good idea. The rack is solid and carries everything I need including: saddle bag, tools, U lock and cables, rain pants rain coat, NiteRider charger, and lunch. I weighed myself on the bathroom scale then filled the saddlebag with everything I needed to be sure I didn't go over the 25 lb. weight limit. All of my stuff weighs 19 lbs., so I can even buy a few groceries or put shoes in there if necessary. The rack is long enough so that my heals do not strike the bags; a problem that I had in the past with other racks. the pannier supports keep the wheels clear. An added and unexpected bonus of carrying all of my things on my bike rather than my back is that on the weekends when I use my light road bike I feel really strong. Also, my back isn't sweaty when I get to work. I love this product. All bike commuters should buy it.
