Product Information
Full details
The Topeak Uni Super Tourist Fat is designed for fat bike enthusiasts who require a reliable and versatile cargo solution for 24-inch or 26-inch wide-tire frames. Its primary strength lies in its fully adjustable leg design and integrated MTX QuickTrack system, making it an excellent companion for bikepacking or daily off-road commutes. However, potential buyers should be aware that it is strictly incompatible with frames featuring an asymmetric rearstay design, so verification of your bike frame geometry is essential before purchase.

Troubleshooting
Rack feels loose after a long ride
Check all mounting bolts and the adjustable leg screws; tighten them using an Allen key if vibration has caused them to back out.
Panniers rubbing against the tire
Verify that the rack is leveled correctly and adjust the mounting arms; ensure the pannier straps are pulled tight against the rack's side bars.
