i cycletoured with one of these racks 100,000 (!) kilometer, with average at least 15 kilo lugguge on it and it never let me down. so its quite a mystery to me why nowadays those steel tubus racks -which are 3 times more expensive then blackburn and have only 10 years guarantee- are suddenly so populair…
I have to agree, planning a tour and suddenly my Blackburn with at least 5,000 touring miles on it is considered light duty??
I had one of these fail on me on a moderately loaded overnight trip on a gravel rail-trail. One of the aluminum welds failed, and I had to bungee it together to limp home. I’m currently using a Burley Moose Rack (also for compatibility with our Piccolo trailerbike), which is NOT going to break. If I didn’t have the trailerbike constraint I’d probably go with Tubus. Doesn’t seem like a good idea to make lightweight racks out of aluminum.
