I haven't done much touring with it but i can imagine it's not as good as lowriders. I mainly use mine for city use but it does sit high and far forward. Planning on going on a tour this summer but will probably switch for lowriders and normal front rack til then.

I've done some heavy loading over shit terrain on mine. Things I've learnt. It prefers much smaller panniers. Outside of custom, most OTP ones will need to be modded a bit. I use some front rollers loaded with soft goods.
Secondly, it's tough, but I really wish they had more contact points. I've had to mod mine to brace it at the bottom and mid fork for peace of mind.
@kjlem Yeah, totally agree. I've had to learn to redistribute the weight of my gear to offset it from the front a bit. Saying that, I've got really slack geo on my bike so not sure how 'bad', 'bad' is.
Also, show and tell? Looks like a great trip, how long you out there for? -
Can't really help the 'high' bit, but 'forward' surely can be adjusted?

Im currently touring in Asia with a pizza rack with two ortlieb frontrollers and a drybag on top. It looks really cool but I don't like that the weight of the panniers is higher and more forward compared to the tubus lowriders I used before. It's pretty unstable when I'm climbing at low speed and hard not to sway all over the road. Anyone else experienced this?
