I have a 2009 Kona Blast. Would the Blackburn Rear Mountain Bike Rack fit on my bike?

Tubus racks are supposed to be very strong under normal use, but not let their 10 year warranty fool you. I had Tubus Disco for about a week and after my bike fell over it broke. To quote Peter Ronge responsible for design and construction at Tubus: “In a nutshell, our carriers are made for normal use, also rough use and overloading, but they are not good in accidents.”

So why pay the extra bucks for a useless warranty?

Needless to say, I will not be getting a tubus rack again.

Hi Tyler, saw your article on bike rear racks. Very helpful!
Did you also look at Nitto racks? I saw a comparison on Nitto vs. Tubus leaving me leaning towards Nitto. Your thoughts? Thanks.

Jim, sorry for the delay in answering. I do have fenders on my Bianchi Brava. I have the Planet Bike Freddy Fenders. They are a VERY tight fit, but I did get them to work with a little modding of the mounting bracket. Hope that helps!

Do you have fenders on the Brava bike. If you do what kind are they?

Thanks
Jim
