Yes it is of decent quality, but unfortunately after checking with Rei to make sure that it would indeed fit on my newly purchased Rei co-op 1.2 mountain bike, it was a struggle to get on and in my opinion it did not look all that great afterwards. I called the bike shop and was told that I could bring it in along with my bike and have it installed or I could watch an install video and do it myself. Either way the bracelet would need to be bent to fit and so that is what I had to do. I will keep it because it was too much of a pain to get on to take off but if I had known I would not have purchased.
This is my 2nd Topeak rack. Fairly easy to mount and works great with Topeak's MTX system bags. However, I do have an issue with REI. Their web page for this states "Integrated spring clip helps conveniently secure lighter weight cargo." This rack does not have a spring clip. I've decided to keep the rack anyway, but it is a bit of a disappointment. If having a spring clip is important to you, do not buy this particular rack from REI.
Quality seems fine. For a product that purports itself to be "one fits all", it is indeed not. There is not enough clearance to accommodate a 29x3.0" tire on my Surly Krampus. Maybe other eyelet placements will work, but not mine
works perfectly, it was installed at the store for me
The associate was very helpful. Rack fit just as he said
