Great rack, but it is heavy and is one of the more expensive racks out there. I like it since it holds my stuff well and plenty of loading weight available. The major downside of this rack is that it is able to put more stress on the rear wheel and possibly break spokes or wear away the bearings in your rear hub. Have a good rear wheel built if you install this rack!

If you are not sold on this Surly rack, you can consider a rackless setup or a different lighter rack.

Rackless Setups are becoming more common, here is a good link: http://theridesouth.com/2014/09/09/going-rackless-another-new-set-up/
