Wow! That is low. Where is that number posted? You would think it could handle more than that as heavy as it is, but I guess that you're right :-(

Thank you for getting back to me. I haven't checked for a while either.
Now that you've had it for a while are you still happy?

Just use a lower basket or even just cross bars! You can buy the bars by themselfs.
