It is light, mounts flawlessly and securely on the MTX rack with or without the side frame for the panniers, and is very simple to install.

Topeak QR Beam Rack EX Bicycle Rack

from: Topeak


Exactly what I hoped it would be. Very easy installation and well made. It is better than similar type of racks I've seen in the stores, and the price was right. Not problems with seller or shipping.

Extremely convenient bike pack removes with no trouble. This is the bracket for it. The bracket comes with the pack, so you would only want this if you are going to switch one pack between bikes

Topeak Pocket Shock DXG Bike Pump

very easy to use. able to inflate up to 300psi. small/compact size is a plus. rotating hose lets you pump at practically any angle. there's also an air release button to fine adjust your pressures.

Topeak MTX Trunk Bag DX

from: Topeak


The Amazon photo is of the MTX DXP, with built-in mini panniers. The DX does not have these panniers - the side pockets are indeed side pockets.

Most of these reviews - and the photo - apply to the the Topeak MTX Trunk Bag DX from 2007 and earlier. The 2008 model is much different, and apparently much smaller (longer, wider, but lower).
Old: 12.5"x6.5"x9~13" 800 ci 1380 gm
New: 14.1"x9.4"x7.9" 500 ci 845 gm
I'm confused by the dimensions, but the new one looks smaller. It has a mesh pocket on top, and the bungee covers only half of the top. The side pockets look larger. They've eliminated the carrying handle. The main compartment is "divided."

I could fit jeans+shirt in the old one. I'm not ... Read More:

Topeak RedLite UFO Rear Bicycle Light

from: Topeak


the topeak ufo light looks like a great idea, but the installation and end use is a bit hokey.

the 270 degree LED broadcast of light is good, but not all the LEDs emit at the same intensity. The yellow LEDs are worthless.

Mounting the UFO light to your Topeak rack is a design in engineering failure. The UFO light clip, (which you receive when you buy the light) just slides over the Topeak bike rack adapter, (which you receive when you buy the rack). It is not a solid mount. The clip broke off the adapter after riding over some railroad tracks, which i do very cautiously on my hybrid bike.

If you are concerned with image, the set up looks hokey. If you don't care, get some superglue or make your own clip/adapter set ... Read More:

Topeak MTX BeamRack Bike Mounted Rack

from: Topeak


Ummm.
This is the 3rd Topeak Beam Rack that I have owned. The other 2 have broken at the weld joints. The first two probably lasted a total of 3 years and about 6000 miles. You may ask, why do they break and why do I keep buying? Well, I think that they break because while I use this rack on my commuter bike, my riding style may be better considered urban mountain biking. Riding down sets of stairs is a common occurence and, in the end, this riding style seems to put too much stress on the welds, I guess. I keep buying new racks because the Topeak pack that goes with the rack is quite good and cost a significant chunk of change itself. So, we'll see how long this 3rd one lasts. Next time though - I know a guy who builds custom steel frame bikes ... Read More:

The Topeak Bar Extender

from: Topeak


THIS IS A PRETTY COOL DEVICE AND CAN BE USED MULTIPLE WAYS. IT'S A GREAT PRODUCT WITH OPTIONS. THE ONLY DOWN SIDE I SAW WITH THIS IS THE DIAMETER IS KIND OF LIMITED AS TO WHERE YOU CAN PUT IT. IF YOU HAVE A BULKY STEM IT MAY NOT WORK ON IT AND SOME METAL MAY COME IN CONTACT WITH THE BIKES FINISH/PAINT. ITS GREAT ON SMALL/THINNER STEMS AND HANDLE BARS. THE PICTURE SHOWS THIS WITH DOUBLE LIGHTS WHICH I WAS LOOKING TO DO MYSELF AND COULDN'T ACCOMPLISH THIS DO TO THE STEMS SIZE(DIAMETER) UNLESS I CHANGE IT. I DON'T LIKE IT GOING STRAIGHT UP OFF THE BARS JUST TO PUT 2 DEVICES - FOR THAT I WOULD JUST USE THE ACTUAL HANDLE BARS AND KEEP THAT OTHER STUFF OUT OF MY FACE UNLESS YOU PUT IT FACING FORWARD AWAY FROM YOU AT AN ANGLE SIMILAR TO THE STEM.

Topeak JoeBlow Sport Floor Bike Pump

from: Topeak


I've gone through 3 Joe Blow pumps in 9 months. The overall pump is sturdy but the valve falls apart with only minor use in a very short period of time. Lucky for me my local bike shop let me swap them out for free. It's really a crying shame that this company doesn't get it, the valves are just cheap plastic and not on par with the rest of the pump.
