Norco/Axiom racks?

Does anyone have any experience or knowledge about
Norco/Axiom rear racks? They seem pretty cheap - is that
because they're from Canada or because they're junk?

Here's their page:

Any help is appreciated.

I have 2 Axiom racks, one standard bolt-on with pannier
support, and another seatpost rack with removable rack.

Both are bulit extremely well, the seatpost rack is solid
as a rock.

Even up here in Canada, they are priced quite low,
definitely not due to them being junk.

Have to concur on the racks, with the point that it's hard
to screw up a basic rack. I'd have to check, but I think one
or two of mine are Axiom.

Axiom is of course Norco's house brand for accessories;
besides their VPS bikes, Norco is also a huge distributor
and importer of other bike stuff (including, for example,
Canadian distribution of Haro bikes).

In general, the Axiom stuff is reasonable mid-grade stuff,
sturdy but not fancy. I happily used one of their saddlebags
for a year or two of commuting, and while it wasn't super-
skookum, it did the job and didn't fall apart, despite some
mild overloading.

I only replaced it because I got a ridiculous garage-sale
deal on some Serratus bags.

Thanks a lot to both of the guys who replied. I'm definitely
going to order one.
