How does rack attach to mounting hardware ? Am trying to avoid the kind that use a tiny screw at the bottom -- they never seem to hold.

The mounting bracket screws into the wall and the visible part inserts into a slot in the bracket and slides down into place. No screws are visible once the bar is fully mounted so it doesn't sound like this one would be the same as what you have already tried. We have the same bar in another bathroom that has been up for four years. It came off once when our son pulled and pulled on the towel, nearly hanging onto the bar. My husband fixed it easily and it has been there since.

It does not have the set screw. It slides on to a mounting clip. You might still have a problem with it holding.

Confirming other replies. When you snap it into place there is a solid click from the mounts so you can tell when it is locked in place. It is well made. My experience is that it will stay put too, as long as the towel is not bunched up and pulled off sideways.

It locks down onto a raised piece of metal. It's pretty sturdy and I don't think there are any screws from what I remember. I think it has to be rocked up to remove.

The design was to use the brackets and they are a permanent (integral) part of the rack. There is a bolt but it is permanently welded onto the rack.

Yes, I have connected the brackets to the cross bars but I had to remove what looked like "spacer" and just use the brackets. That's been over a month or so and the rack is still up there. Thank you Lord!

Unfortunately no, at least not mine. My rack prevented snagging, though I used it on a rack from oldmanmountain.com

I found this to be true. The fix is to use a hex wrench to over tightening the quick release which makes it useless but the rack won't sway.

I agree with everyone else. Mine came with screws. Also, I was skeptical about mounting C brand networking equipment on this rack. Don't be concerned with that. The rack is very sturdy.

Ask this guy: Lex, Racks for All. He contacted me through Amazon, so I don't have a direct email.

It depends on how high and how securely you mount it. I'd look at alternate ideas because I think reaching up to the upper rack will be too difficult and there may be too much swaying. Best of luck.

I don't believe there is a way to completely secure them. but someone would at least need the small tool that comes with them to remove them. Overall they are great racks.

There is a mounting strip on the bottom, attached with screws & anchors. The top is secured by mounting clips, also attached with screws & anchors. Holes for the screws & anchors are drilled. The cabinet slips on to the bottom mounting strip and clips to the top clips at each corner. The cabinet is supposed to have at least one side aligned to a stud. Unfortunately, where we needed to mount the cabinet was between studs. So instead of using the supplied anchors we used toggle bolts.

The piece comes with two screws. There are two holes at the top of the rack to mount.

I'm not sure if it's the rack or all the stuff in the rack. The only problem I've had was the cheap bolts they give you to attach the mount to the roll bar. It broke and I haven't been able to fish the one end out of the roll cage.

There are two options: two belt-like straps to fasten to the top of the rack, and two straps on the inside side of each bag to velcro to the lower/side part of the rack. I find that these options are plenty for securing the bags. I hope that helps!

I bought 2 of these, one I drilled in screws and mounted that way, the other I used a wide strip of Velcro, not sure what your needing to hang to but you can always reinforce with some gorilla tape for a good secure hold. Hope this helps and I am sure there are many more ways, but this is how I put mine up.

If you don't have any mounting holes then you are out of luck to mount any rear rack on your bike properly. What about the front?

Yes - but it is not wide enough for most racks. It does come with the mounting hardware. For most standard racks you will need additional hardware.

Does the frame have mounting holes for the bottom of rack? If so it should work but you may have to space the mounting out (wider) on the side with the disk brake. I used a standoff and longer screw. You may be able to use it with a bunch of washers instead of stand off.
