Blackburn 15 Lbs. Capacity Essential Rear Bike Rack

I like the looks of this Blackburn rear bike rack. The first thing I noticed was how heavy it was. The packaging does not say what it is made of, but from what I can tell. It looks like the main bar running down the middle is steel, the locking release is steel, the rest feels and sounds like aluminum. The weight would not really be that much of a problem except, I need to load and unload from the back of a tall truck. If you plain to only keep the two wheels on the ground then its great. The platform is kind of small. I use it to strap down my coat when I need to remove it when I am riding. This bike rack will be good if you use saddle bags...The bike rack has a max load capacity of 15lbs. The rack is supplied with three shims, so you shouldn't have any trouble hooking it up to your bike. The quick release make it easy to adjust the height to get it position just the way you like it.
