Axiom Streamliner DLX

[Dann-Oh]

Has anyone here had any luck with the Axiom Streamliner DLX?  I currently have a Giant Defy 2 (carbon frame road bike) and a Specialized Stumpjumper Evo HT 29er.  I am looking to get into bikepacking and commuting.  I am thinking i'll put the Axiom Streamliner DLX on my giant to start commuting to work.  I recently got a new job and my commute is 2 miles so it doesn't make much sense to drive.  I would also like to then move the rack over to the Stumpjumper for bikepacking trips.

I know most people dont bikepack with a rack and painners (thats called touring) but like to try it out on the rack before I dump several hundred bucks into bike bags.

I'm pretty certain I have that one, or at least a cousin of it.  I have toured with it and its a nice rack.  I have it on my commuter, an old lugged carbon Specialized that uses the QR skewer to hold it on.  I also use a seatpost mounted adapter to finish the attachments.  The only advise I can give you is to remove the springs from the skewer.  That rack itself functions as the springs and this makes it more of a PIA to remove the rear wheel but still very doable.  Its a rack, it works, not much else.
