  It seems to me a very good choice, Hard, good paint.

  You can atach the painners at the sides of the rack, and in the top, the sleeping bag, a mattress or something else
  
  It also hace a special atach point for your RED BACK LIGHT

  A very very helpfull accesory for your bike when you travel

  PAY ATENTION if you need it For DISC BRAKES BIKE or NOT, there is a diference in the way you atach it to the bike and also in the PRICE There are two models, almost exactly the same
  
  Be carefull!!!

  I love this rack. Sturdy as all heck once installed properly. Unfortunately I didn’t realize the rack was made for bikes with seat stays which my Trek didn’t have. After a couple of trips to the local outdoor store, I finally stopped by a proper bike shop and picked up a Blackburn Monostay Rack Adapter. It took me nearly an hour to get everything properly installed but once installed the rack didn’t move. I use this rack with a Topeak DX bag (with panniers). The bag has QuickTrack and is super-sturdy on this rack. Highly recommended.

  I bought this rack to put on my wife’s beach cruiser with the Topeak rear basket. It is adaptable to all bicycles as advertised, but is designed to fit bicycles with threaded seat-stay bosses. If you’re bicycle does not have threaded rack mounts, installation will require some type of adaptor. My wife’s bike is an Electra and Electra sells a seat clamp with rack mounts which installs easily; other companies might sell a similar item. Installation was easy. Rack is very sturdy. The rear basket goes on easily with the MTX track system.Topeak MTX Rear Bicycle Basket

  A great value! Detailed directions. No extra parts – don’t drop any of those tiny washers. I was lucky – my bicycle has threaded attachment points. If yours does not, be prepared to make a trip or 2 to the hardware store.

  Also, the rack does not come with an Allen Wrench. Hopefully you have a set of Allen Wrenches on hand.

  Use this in conjunction with MTX bags. It has lips on either side of the center platform to accept and hold the plastic bottoms of the MTX Bags. Compared to other racks by other manufacturers, this is a dream to use. Just slide on your bag and snap it into place. It is very sturdy and strong, not to mention it is priced like other bike racks. You can’t use panniers with this rack. Becareful with the included braze-on screws, one broke easily when I installed it. I’m sure it was just a dud.
