maybe somone uses it and could say something about it, just curious ?
I've used it on a proper tour and it... works:
But your points are valid. Had to move the mounts of my Ortlieb pannier bags a little too much to the middle for comfort, might be the reason one bag snapped (not at that point though, so maybe not).
I have the large (platform) size and was really happy with it. Put my tent and sleeping back on top and that worked perfectly.
All in all pretty good rack for the money, though not ideal for pannier bags I'd say.

I used the Pelago with the Ortlieb front rollers (12.5l each) and an Alp Kit dry bag on top. Like @Tijs I wish it had a longer mounting tube but for the smaller panniers it's okay. I'm not sure i'd fancy 40l panniers on there but people do!
In hindsight maybe I should have gone for the Soma Porteur, but at the time couldn't justify spending twice as much. For day to day use I love the Pelago though.

liked the simplicity of rack. mounts from 4mm laser cut steel
btw today saw Pelago front rack on a bicycle, and I wasn't excited as seeing it on web. it didn't looked perfect rack for panniers, as mounting tube is crazy short, and there is no much space for pannier bag to lean, maybe someone uses it and could say something about it, just curious ?
