Pros & Cons
Pros
Installation is fairly easy, depending on how diy capable you are. Pure class and easy to install. Had to juggle the spacers around and customise the top brackets but now fits perfectly.
Not the cheapest carrier, but definitely a good one. Looks sturdy, nice matt black finish. Not used it yet but looks nice enough. Alsi there were a few scratches on there.
Arrived promptly and well-packaged. This is the second pakrak i've purchased. Great experience start to finish.
Cons
Quality control is non existent! Go to a bike shop and make sure instead of taking a gamble on this. It's lightweight and looks nice however the basics weren't met unfortunately.

Youll need some practical skills to put in on and may need to shorten a couple of the bars as i did to fit it properly depending on the bike

The clearance on the tyre is less than 10mm on my bike and that’s on full extension i guess that would be the same for any 27

Fortunately the rack is so sturdy even fully loaded over bumpy terrain i don’t think it will be catching the tyrefitting is tricky but you would expect that for any universal pannier rack you have to work out what’s best for the frame and this often takes trial and error
