REI Members get back an estimated $ 7.00 on this item as part of their annual member refund.

The REI Member Dividend

The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

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.

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:

I was suprised my wife got me this as a gift. It turned me into an everyday bike commuter. The rack is very light and durable. I never take the weight to the limit set by Topeak. As with all Topeak products I have used the quality is outstanding. This rack only pairs with the RX trunk bags, if you want to go with more space you need the other series racks Topeak offers. For a road bike this worked perfect, maybe a little too perfect, my wife turned into a bike widow. The rack and the bag I got for this rack go everywhere with me now. The only thing I have ever noticed was a tail sway that I started to encounter when I have loaded the bag with side paniers deployed. Other than that this is an awesome way to carry stuff to work or on an extended tour, while keeping your back unburdened.
