Estaban, I typically load the heavy items on the front of my Rivendell's (All- Rounder & Atlantis). IMHO the bikes handle well with heavy items up front.
I did have a minor issue with a Nitto Campee front rack with removable lowriders (rack assembly had five pieces). The rack flexed and caused a minor vibration (solvable by resting my knee on the top tube) between 18-24 mph.
