The Tubus Luna is a great rack for day-to-day use. I've been commuting with mine for years, and it holds up well. I've also taken it on short tours, and found that it works adequately; but since it's narrower on top than conventional racks, there's less of a platform to strap stuff on. Also, conventional trunk bags won't work with it. Horace. On Wed, Jun 24, 2009 at 7:35 PM, nathan spindel wrote: > > Soon I'll be doing a week long tour on a 57cm Romulus.
