I've been looking at getting a rear rack for my bike but I don't have mounting eyelets on the frame. Has anyone used this rack?
It's quite cheap so I'm worried about the quality but most of the reviews are pretty good.

P clamps are a cheap option to address no connection points. However these racks are stronger than p clamps. Mines rated at 140kg /308lbs. I doubt it would do that but I had a fat child sit on it for a ride and I know it can handle at least half that. Which is considerably more than the standard 25kg /55lbs most racks have.
People hate on these racks because they are cheap, fiddly to setup and require regular maintenance checks because of all the bolts and stuff. Overall I’m happy with mine. I’ve seen so many people brake their rear racks. Never seen anyone brake one of these.
Mine has two extra connecting points which is different to yours. I would suggest getting the stronger one like mine. And remember to maintain it with regular checks you shouldn’t have any problems. My rear rack regularly carries at least 30kg /66lbs. I trust it to carry my dog. Paid €31 /$33
