Reviews of Jandd Expedition Rear Rack (Black)

Customer Ratings:

I needed a rear rack with no frills and excellent weight capacity for a special project. To make a long story short, I've clamped 55 pounds worth of lead-acid battery to the support struts of this thing and it holds up like a champ. I've ridden the bike it's attached to for a few months now and I'm happy to report that there's no creaking, cracking or bending to speak of. Money well spent.

A few things to note, however:

-The included screws seem to be made of soft material, and even though they have low-profile look compared to regular hex screws it's very easy to strip out the hex socket and make it difficult to remove later. Either take care during installation or replace them with something more durable.

-You'll need pre-existing seat-stay holes on your bike's frame to install this with just the included hardware. Otherwise you may need to resort to P-clamps or hose clamps, which can be found at some hardware stores.

Had this rack a couple years now, with 10,000 miles on my bicycle hauling all sorts of stuff on this rack. It's carried the load like a champ. My only complaint is that the front mount should be something stronger than the bendable metal strips used in other racks, since this one is made to carry so much weight. With a heavy load, the rack tends to sway. I partially fixed this by crossing the metal strips in a X and bolting them together in the middle.

Man did I search high and low for a rack that would fit my Pugsley with no modifications. This rack accomplished that with ease. I will say that the good fit was because I used a Salsa seat-post Post Lock that has threaded mounting holes. I ordered it just in case and must say that it worked great. I just could not seem to get the braze on posts on the upper triangle to work.

This is a heavy rack...and long. Long enough to act like a fender. It also mounts a little high, but that has allowed my big feet to clear the Jandd Grocery panniers that I got. The height also gives me more clearance from snow packing in.

The rack bolts right to the lower braze-on posts, by simply mounting one on the inside and the other on the outside. This accommodates for the Pugsley's offset frame and centers perfectly.

Great rack!

Honest reviews on Jandd Expedition Rear Rack (Black)

If you only put one rack on the back of your bike, this is the one. It's big, it holds a ton (well, ok 50lbs, but that feels like a ton when you're riding around). It's so big, it makes your butt look smaller by comparison.

I bought this rack for 2 reasons first it is a very sturdy rack and has one of the longest if not the largest deck of any standard rear rack. My second reason is that i want to use large rear panniers, but I have a short chainstay and large feet and this rack has very straight and simple lines and this will make any modifications i might have to do less complex. My bike also has rear disc brakes so i used the Jandd disc brake fender adapters which seem to be the most solid solution available however the rack is so solid that it does not like the amount of spread I had to put on it and unlike other less sturdy racks it lacks the ability to conform easily. With all that being said I have no doubt that it can sustain and exceed its weight handling specifications an if it was used on a non disk bike it would be even more solid. For the price, size, and quality it is a very good value.
