With fully loaded touring the weight difference is insignificant. The wider Nitto has advantages when mounting bags or strapping other supplies on the rear rack between panniers. Nitto is also easier to mount Arkel at least panniers on. The Tubus protects the rear light better, allows for lower mounting of the panniers. I was unable to notice a difference in ride quality.
Currently my wife has Tubus front and rear and I am running Nitto rear, Tubus low rider front and both of us have Nitto mini fronts. Both are great racks and have delivered many weeks of on the road service without issue. I trust them both Kelly -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
