I bought this for a Surly Disc Trucker, a not-uncommon or particularly proprietary bike. The center mounting tab, when installed, either completely immobilizes the wheel, or needs to be flexed upwards pretty aggressively and pinched with a bolt head, as there aren’t enough braze ons in the racks underside. I talked with a friend who’d run one before and they had a similar issue. Once installed, it works! It doesn’t sit properly flat, so it’s raked back a little bit, which is just a visual bother, but it holds things well and doesn’t rattle when empty. For the price, it’s fine if frustratingly underwhelming, but I haven’t pulled it off. Seems like a little more r&d coulda gone into it.

This is a major rack upgrade for my commuting experience. I just built up a New Albion privateer in gloss black with silver parts and this rack was the perfect finisher. It came with tons of hardware to get the mounting dialed in perfectly, and it looks so damn good! It’s pricey, but I feel it will last years and years being made out of stainless steel.

Porteur Rack

The strut that attaches to the fork hole/brake hole was too straight and too rigid and interfered with the caliper. Had to take to a bike shop and get them to jig something up for me for the rack to fit to my bike . Otherwise looks fantastic and works great

Versatile. Holds my old Brooks bag perfectly, can carry various shaped loads easily, and looks good on my early eighties mountain bike. One solid rack at a reasonable price. Very well made.
