[RBW] Re: aluminum V steel rear rack
We broke a couple of Blackburn aluminium racks on our tandem in the 1980s. They didn't seem to be able to cope with carrying the luggage requirements for two people cycle camping. To replace them I bought a pair of front and rear Bruce Gordon CrMo racks, and the same racks are still holding up fine almost 40 years later, though they're now pretty rusty. BG doesn't make racks any longer, but I've also had no problems using Tubus steel racks on my own tourer. I bought their stainless steel racks (Tara front, Fly rear).

I'm pretty sure I've only ever had aluminum racks. They take serious abuse without complaint. -Wes On Monday, October 16, 2023 at 6:47:13 AM UTC-7 ber...@bernardduhon.com wrote: > > > > > Folks, > > I outfitted my Waterford Tourer with aluminum rear rack . > > > > Load was like 20 pd rear 12 pd front.
