Topeak v neck cycle rack

Hello does anyone use this type of rack and do you have any problems with it, I was thinking of purchasing one to use on my bike that does not have the fittings for a standard rack.
Any observations would be greatly appreciated

You’ve probably read this, Geoff - https://www.topeak.com/global/storage/app/media/download/product-manual/MTX%20BeamRack%20(V-Type)/mtxbeamrackgb0506.pdf. The only limitation that I can spot is that you can’t use it with carbon fibre seat posts.

Geoff,

I think you have to be very careful how much (or precisely, how little) you load up the rack.

I have one and it's a very neat idea with the extra flaps that drop down for small amount of extra stowage. Would I buy one again? Probably not, the clamp around the seat post seems to twist sideways very easily and so makes the bike a little unstable!
