I do wish the rear rack was about half to 3/4 its current size. I think it's too big, but thats only because I hang two folding baskets down each side of the rear rack. I was hoping it was just a little bigger than the front, basket, but it is solid and most will love it for big jobs. That's what I plan on just attaching for a big job because it's too big for everyday use. If you take you bike up in an elelavator or put in a bus rack you will have problems so be advised it will add some length and width to your bike & it's not so easy to remove quickly.
