In 1975, Jim Blackburn set out to design stronger, lighter, more innovative and more reliable cycling products. The first were bags and racks designed for touring. From there, Blackburn grew. Over the next 30 years, Blackburn's spark of innovation would lead to many revolutionary products, like the first high quality aircraft aluminum rack, the first dual stroke minipump, the first oversized mountain minipump and the first dual stage/dual stroke floorpump just to name a few. For 2005, Blackburn's creative spark is burning brighter than ever. And as we head into our 30th year, Blackburn is re-dedicated to designing smart, reliable, no nonsense accessories that are essential to your riding experience.

 a must! May 3, 2008

if your spouse/partner rides too, this is a must! EASY to install and a snap when putting the seat on! Love it! When the whole family rides, we just switch the seat to my husband's bike in a matter of seconds.
 Bogus product -- did not work. August 25, 2007

I was too hasty in handing this package over to my bike shop (was getting a new bike and wanted this mounted during assembly). It appears that my product was bogus (albeit very well constructed). Unfortunately, my CoPilot child seat would not slide onto the rack (rails were too thick). By the time I realized this, my 30 days for return had expired. It was then that I studied the design carefully and realized that it was not a true Blackburn EX-1. My neighbor's Blackburn actually has "Blackburn" embossed in the metal.
If you order this, study it carefully and, especially if you plan to use it for a child seat, make sure it works before you mount it and throw away the package.

A quick review and how-to June 15, 2007
23 out of 23 found this review helpful
10 years ago I started working as a bicycle mechanic at a local shop throughout high school and summers while in college. Fast forward to today and I'm putting together a bicycle to commute to the train station.
I honestly can't tell you how many racks I've installed on bikes...maybe hundreds. The Blackburn racks were consistently the most stable, easy to put on, and provided the best fit on a wide range of bikes. Also, the rack is compatible with most child seats and this is the model that Rhode Gear includes with their products. This particular model is also really good with panniers as there are 3 vertical supports per side.
Before you purchase the rack check to see if your bicycle has brazons for it. Brazons are the little hex bolts and threads that are welded onto the frame. You will see brazons with bolts right by the rear brakes. You also want to check for mounts just above the rear axle of the bicycle. These will be small "threaded holes" that the rack also attaches to. If you have all of these, feel free to purchase the rack and install it yourself. If not, go to your local bike shop and purchase a rack there and have them install it. They will be able to find a rack for you and attach it with the appropriate hardware. In some cases we had to use some custom kits that were ordered from the manufacturer to fit a funky bike. It happens.
To install the rack first lightly bolt the silver supports to the top of the rack. It should be tight enough to not wobble, but loose enough so that the length can be adjusted. Now bolt the bottom of the rack to the bike. Start with the drive side first (the one with the gears) and then bolt the other side on. Swing the rack into position and bolt the other supports to the brazons. Note, these supports are meant to flex, but do NOT bend them. Flexing is good, bending is bad. Finally adjust the rack so that it is level and then tighten all the bolts and you're good to go.

Much higher quality than all others we've seen. The adjustment brackets and mounts looks like they could fit any brand bicyle.
