Product Information
Full details
The Topeak RX Beam Rack is a high-utility rear storage solution designed for cyclists who prioritize quick, tool-free installation for daily commuting or light touring. It is best suited for riders using Topeak RX-series bags, providing a lightweight, stable platform that attaches directly to the seatpost. While it offers excellent convenience with the QuickTrack system, it is important to note that its weight capacity is limited to 15 lbs, making it unsuitable for heavy-duty cargo or pannier setups.

Troubleshooting
The rack rotates or shifts on the seatpost during a ride
Ensure the tension screw on the quick-release clamp is tightened properly before flipping the lever. Verify that you have used the correct shim for your seatpost size.
The bag does not click into the QuickTrack system
Check the underside of the bag and the track for any debris or road grit. Ensure the locking tab on the bag is fully functional and not obstructed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the rack, first measure your seatpost diameter to determine if you need to insert the provided shims. Open the quick-release lever, position the clamp around the seatpost, and tighten the tension screw before locking the lever down. Ensure the rack is level and that the clamp is tightened sufficiently to prevent rotation under load.
Compatibility is strictly limited to seatposts between 25.4mm and 31.8mm. Periodically check the quick-release clamp to ensure it hasn't loosened due to road vibration. To clean, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners on the plastic QuickTrack components to prevent material degradation.
