Ah, I'm not taking mounting hardware into account.
Fly ( classic )
Material: 25CroMo4
Wheel size: unisize 26"/28"
Weight: ca. 341 g
Mounting parts: ca. 67 g
Additional load: 18 Kg
Vega ( classic )
Material: 25CrMo4
Wheel size: unisize 26"/28" oder 29"
Weight: ca. 375 g
Mounting parts: ca. 138 g
Additional load: 25 Kg
So a total of 408g for the Fly and 513g for the Vega. These weights are approximate, as I've had two of the same Tubus rack before that had a 50g weight difference.
Bear in mind that you'd probably add these additional offset stays to the Fly, to make use of the rack mounts you have. Personally, I just reckon the Vega is a better rack and the Fly is best used for bikes without proper rack mounts :-)
