Axiom Streamliner racks

I've been looking for options for racks as I have no eyelets/braze on mounts on my frame. I'm particularly impressed by the axiom streamliner racks (the disc one mainly, as it has a slightly wider and more usable top bit than the pure road version).

I've read some very mixed reviews, though, with some saying it's absolutely amazing and others saying it collapses at the merest hint of a bump.

I wondered if anyone here had any experience with the rack and whether it was suitable for light touring (~10kg would be carried on it at one time).

    I've since come across the Axiom Journey Unifit which looks to have much sturdier plates attaching the legs to the QR skewer so I'm leaning towards that now. I have a seat collar with integrated eyelets now so that should give me a secure attachment at the top.

    Still interested to hear if anyone passing has any experience with these.

    I use the Blackburn expedition 1 disc, which also fits through the quick release and also use a seatpost collar with mounts...
    It is a good setup which I would recommend. You have to be careful with the collars though, some cheap ones are really junk and the thread gets stripped in no time. The Salsa one is good
