We designed this rack as a problem solver back when disc-brakes were still a new thing. The Journey® Disc remains a favorite to this day thanks to its flexible yet elegant mounting options and industry-leading weight capacity. Construction Hand-welded, tubular 10.2mm 6061 T6 aluminum. Mounting System Extra-long (280mm), adjustable Versalock® arms (for frames with eyelets). Traditional stay on right (drive side). Adjustable Versalock® stay on left (disc side). Features Triple stay design has a sweepback frame that prevents pannier bags from bouncing into your wheel while you ride. Suitable for frames where disc-brake placement causes a compatibility issue with traditional racks. Generous platform size is optimized for top loading things like trunk bags and rear baskets. Designed for modern bicycles by sitting your load further back over the wheel where it is supposed to sit. Increased heel clearance. Enhanced trunk bag / seat clearance improves trunk bag function, especially on smaller frames. 280mm Versalock® arms are long enough to fit even the smallest of bikes. Versalock® arms can be DIY bent up to 30 degrees without reducing strength. Double welded for extra strength and long-term durability. Ample room for a full range of fender styles Reflector/light mount, Frame bolts included Disc Brake Compatible Axiom products are warranted against manufacturing defects for the lifetime of the original purchaser. If a product is determined to be defective by the original Axiom dealer who sold the product, it will be replaced at no charge with original proof of purchase.

I have a Haro Double Peak 27.5 Trail Mountain Bike and this will fit, but the lack of instructions doesn't make it easy. I would recommend loosening up all the fittings on the rack. Start at the top and attach the two arms just below the seat, next attach the non-adjustable right side to the frame - this may be difficult and might require help. Now attached the left side. Position rack as level as possible and tighten all fasteners. The end reset was satisfactory, but I was sweating worse than a hard ride.

This rear rack does solve the problem I purchased it to solve. It allows me toA) Leave my rear disc brake caliper where it is.B) Have clearance to attach/mount/use my “Bob” trailer.Altogether this is more than just one step in the right direction. The mounting of this rack is, however, almost impossible with the hardware provided. The front mounting struts have bends in them that make no sense to me, and the left rear mounting strut must be fastened with a bolt (machine screw) that also secures the rear brake caliper. I am afraid this will make the mounting bolt prone to loosening due to vibration. (I used a longer bolt and applied thread-locking compound, and I check the bolt for loosness almost every time I ride; so far it has remained tight.)

Requires modification to fit a Cannondale hardtail MTB, but fits my son's Trek spot on!

The mounting mechanism on the non-drive side is very poorly designed. It seems a bit flimsy even when tightened down fully. It also protrudes from the rack, so you can't use a pannier on that side (which it is obviously designed to be used with) because it will not rest flat.

All aluminum racks that I have had broke with in two years. Except for one that was not welded! I really wish the idiot bicycle industry would make a stainless steel rack! yes like the water stainless tube bottles! The small arm that goes around the brake on the brake side, broke! Fortunately I can make a new one. when the other side brakes it's trash.

Its a bit hard to find good racks that work on some disc brake setups. I had high hopes for this one. There are no directions included at all. I'm mechanically inclined and was able to set it up in 45-60 minutes. I replaced the p-clamp that came with it with a sturdier one and after a bit of fussing around, got it installed. My main gripe is the way they did the rails on the side. The diagonal rail from the front towards the tire is laid over the other one, causing the rack to bulge outward. This makes it hard to install cages on the side - you have to wrench and bend them into place. It would be much better if this bar was underneath, creating a flatter surface.

I have destroyed racks, bent them like pretzels. The average rack claims to hold 1/2 as much but, in all honesty can't carry that. I'm framing the lifetime guarantee because I will be impressed if I don't have to hold them to it. They claim 110# capacity, the nearest I can find is 88# claims from Old Man Mountain, Surley & Tubus... all over $100 mostly over $150 & even over $200. Sure this rack might be a little heavy but, who cares when you plan to carry 60# of gear on it. What's another 200 grams or so? I am impressed with the engineering adaptation for the disc brake. It's an articulated joint with no flimsy welds or other weight/cost saving gimicks. It'd be nice if it had some QR trunks to go with it for short hops but, if it's as sturdy as promised I won't hold that against it. I am not abusive to my bike I don't drop it but, I do ride fast, brake hard & occasionally jump up/down a curb. Most racks can't handle the stress of shifting loads that near their capacity, bending at the legs under the strain. If it doesn't perform, you'll read it & if it does I'll be buying another.

It was a little tough to install because there were no instructions but it is very sturdy and works nice.
