@Phyllis I've only ever tried it out with this set up so far, and rode to Copenhagen in the summer with two small pannier bags on the front + carradice and tent on the rear. And it was absolutely fine. Wouldn't say it "helped" or is necessarily better, but I had no problems at all. It rode nicely, and i don't have a rear rack to compare (sold the Fly now).. I guess I wasn't carrying much weight!

So for a frame that was never intended to carry lots of weight, you really do feel having the panniers out front help rather than on the rear ? It's fashionable sure but you feel it's better?
