Is there any advantage to a handlebar harness over a front rack? Obviously not all bikes have rack fittings and I presume it's nice to be able to ditch the luggage and hit some trails but from a general touring point of view?
I ask as I'm fitting out my ogre soon with luggage. Liz has the 24pack rack on her troll and it's been freaking sweet so far.
Personally I prefer front rack, especially as with pizza rack or pelago you've got the option to add small panniers if needs be. Handlebar harnesses serve a great purpose though and ultimately it comes down to the individual.
