 Not great July 26, 2010
G. Close (San Francisco, CA USA)
Perhaps my experience was unique, but I had several problems with this product. First of all, the bolts are buttery soft, and I was extra careful, but they still wanted to strip. I contacted the company who mailed me some more. They did this courteously and quickly.
However, try as I might, both with a gasket made from an old inner tube and without, and I could not get this securely mounted to my road bike post. There was very little clearance, so this may have added to the problem. My bike is very old, so perhaps the seat post is different? In any event, I returned it.
 excellent bike rack April 14, 2010
Jeremy Daniels (Boise, ID, USA)
Excellent choice if you've got a full suspension bike and need a rear bike rack. Weighs less than 2 pounds but strong enough to hold 20-25 pounds (I've tested this). Also functions partially as a rear fender. Looks nice and is light enough to leave on all the time for those situations where you have to use your mountain bike as a commuter. Just make sure to put it high enough to allow for suspension travel...
Delta Mega Rack Review August 20, 2009
dw (Castle Rock, Co)
Bought it and it was delivered on time. The rack does what it says but there are some glitches.
Problem one: The machine screws provided require a 5mm or 6mm hex key to install and the heads are butter soft. Skip using the factory provided shiny screws and or bolts and go to the hardware store and pick up some equal length screws and use them. The thread is metric and you should use the original screw to match the thread pitch.
Problem two: For the panniers I was using. Do the Hulk Hogan thing and spread the pannier side supports out to keep the panniers from scrubbing your Mountain Bike tire. A road bike may not have this problem.
Good, but not 'Awesome' August 18, 2009
Justin Rossetti (Salt lake City, UT, USA)
This is my second order from Niagara Cycle Works through Amazon. Last time was a set of Topeak fenders and they rock. This time, I wasn't so lucky: I believe I got sent a used rack, and they screwed up on the other item in my order.
I admit, this rack is pretty sweet. It's very lightweight and pretty sturdy. I'm a short person (5' 9") so I was worried about having enough clearance to fit it on, but it fit without problem (I'm just left with little space on top of the rack for any medium or large trunk bag). The downside is, two of the bolts were partially stripped, making this a bear to install; additionally, there was no rear light bracket - I searched the entire box (and it was a big box, ZERO padding, and was partially crushed in shipping, but thankfully nothing appears to have been damaged) but alas, no bracket.
Finally, the tube could be very useful for storing spare tubes or something, but I wouldn't trust that dinky plastic end-cap it came with. This is one of the few really awesome racks out there for full suspension bikes, and I would recommend it hands-down over everything else I've seen. You will probably have a better experience than me, if you happen to get one that wasn't previously used, hah.
great July 20, 2009

This seat post rack works great for my husband's bike that has disc brakes. The Pannier support is important, because I think the pannier would rub the tire without it. Make sure you have the proper size allen wrench so you don't strip the screws. (I think it calls for a 5mm)
