Axiom Journey Cycle Rack, Black

The Axiom Journey Tubular Alloy Racks are a popular choice among cyclists looking for a reliable and sturdy bike rack. The rack has a usable deck of approximately 14.5", but the mounting arms can be extended up to 10-12", providing a versatile option for different bike sizes. It has a maximum weight capacity of 150lbs, making it suitable for carrying heavy loads. The Axiom Journey Tubular Alloy Racks are praised for their durability and strength. Many customers have used them to carry full panniers on long bike tours, with no issues. The racks are also lightweight and easy to install, with included hardware. However, there are a few drawbacks to Consider. Some customers have reported issues with the longevity of the rack. In some cases, the arms that extend to hold the rack have broken after a few years of use. Unfortunately, the lifetime warranty on parts does not seem to be honored, leaving customers with the option of purchasing a new rack instead of obtaining replacement arms. Another drawback is the lack of an extra horizontal bar to hold side bags. If there is something on top of the rack, it becomes difficult to attach side carry bags. Additionally, the positioning of the rack on certain bikes may cause issues when mounting a basket, as it lines up just behind the seat. Overall, the Axiom Journey Tubular Alloy Racks are a strong and versatile option for cyclists looking to carry heavy loads. However, potential buyers should be aware of the potential issues with the longevity of the rack and the limitations in terms of side bag attachment and basket mounting.
