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.

Comments about Tubus Tara Front Bike Rack:
The rack appears to be ok but it is missing 1 part, and for me is useless without it. The Tubus web sight and the REI web site provide a picture of the rack that is not correct there is no welded on lower clip. The rack does not come with the lower clip for 3 point paniers like Arkel. I went to my local flagship store to get the plastic clip because it is not listed on the REI web site. Dont bother they did not have it or list it. The REI bike guy told me to go to the manufactuer, they were rude and only quoted the reliability of their product but provided no access to the part or specific time line it would be available. I bought the rack in January and from what I gatherd, emailing back and fourth to tubus the plastic clip will be avalable in the US somtime after March or April apparently they will be had carried here. Tubus will no longer respond to emails. REI offered to take the rack back and I do not see this as there fault. I would like to see a review of REI's policy to carry this product. I would strongly not recomend this product, or this company.

Comments about Tubus Tara Front Bike Rack:
This rack was easy to install, looks great and works well with several different brands of panniers including Arkels and Ortliebs. Tubus has a wonderful warranty and a reputation of withstanding the abuse that comes from long distance touring.

Comments about Tubus Tara Front Bike Rack:
This rack is easy to install, durable and study. I have used my Tubus on two fully loaded tours of over four hundred miles each. The rack distributes the load well and my panniers do not shift. When not touring, it takes two minutes to remove the rack. A brilliant design. I wish my rear rack were a Tubus. ONLY BY TUBUS!

Comments about Tubus Tara Front Bike Rack:
Bought the Tara for my touring needs, but it also has been GREAT for my commuting. After 6,000 miles I have ZERO complaints with how the rack has held up or how my front roller classic have stayed on the rack. Simple put if the Tara fits on your bike set up, then put the money towards it: after all its only weighs 1.09 LBS. My satisfaction with TUBUS is very high, I have 3 other TUBUS racks and would give them all 6 starts!!! Stay with TUBUS they are GREAT

Comments about Tubus Tara Front Bike Rack:
Good, heavy duty rack. Just make sure it will fit your bike.
I have a Specialized Sirrus, and in order to fit this right, I had to actually install the horizontal bar upside down. With a little jury-rigging it does work great, though.
