Norco/Axiom racks?

James McGregor said:

Does anyone have any experience or knowledge about Norco/Axiom rear
racks? They seem pretty cheap - is that because they're from Canada
or because they're junk?

Here's their page: http://www.norco.com/axiom/staymount.htm

Any help is appreciated.

I have 2 Axiom racks, one standard bolt-on with pannier support, and another
seatpost rack with removable rack.

Both are bulit extremely well, the seatpost rack is solid as a rock.

Even up here in Canada, they are priced quite low, definitely not due to
them being junk.

Have to concur on the racks, with the point that it's hard to screw up a
basic rack. I'd have to check, but I think one or two of mine are Axiom.

Axiom is of course Norco's house brand for accessories; besides their
VPS bikes, Norco is also a huge distributor and importer of other bike
stuff (including, for example, Canadian distribution of Haro bikes).

In general, the Axiom stuff is reasonable mid-grade stuff, sturdy but
not fancy. I happily used one of their saddlebags for a year or two of
commuting, and while it wasn't super-skookum, it did the job and didn't
fall apart, despite some mild overloading.

I only replaced it because I got a ridiculous garage-sale deal on some
Serratus bags.

Thanks a lot to both of the guys who replied. I'm definitely going to order one.
