Yes, the Logo is a Vega with additional lower pannier rails.
Surprising they would make a full touring rack (Logo) with such a
narrow top. The Logo has a rating of 40kg vs. 25kg for the Vega. Can't
believe that the lower rails would allow 15kg more, as they don't
really add that much structurally,
Yes. There is a special tool any bike shop should have that's
basically a long straight stick that screws into the hanger threads,
and because of its length makes a small bend noticeable.
