Topeak explorer MTX rack, anyone have one?

I've had one for a long time. We keep a cantilever on the hybrid, but my Saturday-go-to-market bike has a Topeak rack that mounts with 3 contact points (like your link).

Like ridenread I have a basket attachment for the market that works great. Best investment I made for that bike.

DH uses a rack bag with panniers on his. Needless to say, I get to carry the bigger and bulkier items.

If you have room for the basket attachment, it is more versatile for groceries. I was using bungie cords over the top, but then DH found some Blackburn "nets"--elastic with 4 attachment points. Makes things even more convenient.

I have that rack on my commuter. I have the one with the disc brake mount on my mtb. I have a small and a large trunk, both with panniers. It has been a very reliable and convenient system for me.

I've put this rack on several bikes. The quick mount is great, too. I have a huge trunk for commuting and a very small one for other stuff. I really like the system.

I had an Explorer rack with the spring clip on a previous bike. It's a very solid rack. I now have the Topeak Super Tourist DX with spring on my errand bike. It lets me take off a pannier without having to detach the truck rack first. You can't go wrong with either choice.

Thank you everyone! Ridenread and Thom, I was eyeing that basket too for my grocery shopping, so glad to hear such positive feedback on it. Guess I know what I am going to order!!!!
