Comments about Topeak RX BeamRack with Side Frame - E-Type:
I ride a bike that with a racing geometry that doesn't support a full pannier set so I got this for long rides with groups. It's perfect for an overnight with minimal gear (not a tent) or a long ride where you might want to bring some extras.

Comments about Topeak RX BeamRack with Side Frame - E-Type:
Purchased for commuter use. Quick on/off install, lightweight, stable, great with Topeak trunk bag. Carried change of clothes, shoes, a few files (8-12 lbs total) to and from work (16 mi RT). My rack was rated for 20 lbs max. Less than 1 year later, the aluminum tube fatigued and cracked through about 1 cm behind the seatpost mounting bracket. Not at the weld, but in a straight section of the tube. Fatigue may be due to occasional curb-jumping (my commuter is a modified mountain bike) but this wasn't off-road use.
I'm a little dissappointed in the product, but certain that REI will treat me right when I bring it into my local shop this weekend to exchange for a sturdier frame-mounted Topeak rack.
