Does it secure only to the seat post or to the wheels as well? Could you post a photo of the rack sideways?

There is another question about whether it will support side bags (pannier bags). The answerer states that, since it does NOT have the additional supports that go from the rack down to the rear wheel/axle, it probably wouldn't be a good idea for pannier bags.

it attaches to the middle of the back wheel so if you have a rack connected to the seat it should be fine

First this is not the full item, it's only the frame that hooks on to the rack to hold the saddle bags. If you actually purchase the rack it hooks to the seat post. It works ok but does touch your leg a little no matter how you position it.

The rack with weight if contents in the bag would likely shift to the left or right instead of remaining center as mounted regardless how hard you tighten the clamping piece on the seatpost. I can live with it and center the rack after a bumpy ride.

i'm not sure what to tell you....or how u attached your rear rack, because mine is almost vertical when i attached it to my bike just exactly like the picture....maybe u should ask for an exchange. 20-30 degrees of tilting (either up or down wards) i believe is not right. good luck.

Hey J I park this at a rack with the rear tire in the rack. The bike rack is a poor design. I put the U lock through the frame and rear wheel and to the rack and use the cable to secure the front wheel. It works great. You should have no problems locking it to a rack or a pole or post.

Probably gonna hang off the sides of the seat a little..unless you have a larger rack on back??

The rack is very secure. Not necessary to re-tighten it. For me it works great

It is all that holds the rack to the hitch. You should tighten the bolt all the way, also make sure the piece that goes into the hitch is tight as well. I beleive this is tightened with the supplied hex wrench. I've had mine for three years traveling all over with no wobbles.

When i first started using this rack I had to re-tighten the Allen screws that hold it to the bike a few times...I noticed if I got too much speed downhill or in the wind the rack could move causing an imbalance...once I got it adequately tighened down I havent had this problem.

It will mount on a round seat post regardless of the material it is made out of. It has two rubber gaskets with the clamp to hold it secure without damaging the post.

The pin screws into the hitch to hold it steady and there is a safety pin that keeps it from getting loose. Would be hard to add a locking pin. I just run my locking cable through the hitch's safety chain loop so the rack can't be removed easily.

Make sure you have the rack installed properly in your hitch. It seems like it goes either way, but it doesn't. This happened to me, and I reversed the position and now it is as solid as a rock. We put two mountain bikes on with no problem, but they have to face opposite directions. Also, the rack pivots down if you pull the lower lever for ease of getting the bikes in the holders.

No it doesn't. You have to buy the seat post attachment or the rack separate.

Yes it is threaded and can be tighten so it does not move. A great bike rack for the money.

rack is attached to stem of seat. It is not going anyhere. But I do not go mountain biking so I can't say for sure, but I don't think it would move.
