I actually have a herniated lower disc in my back which may be something to consider.
@andyp@psee The forks are steel Marin butted cromo disc. I would most likely go for a Blackburn Outpost front rack, possibly the ti version.
I’m planning on going upto Hollyhead and over to Ireland so will be going through Snowdonia, so quite a lot of climbing. Is it better to be pushing or pulling the weight? The frame (Four Corners Elite) is incredibly stable, the wheelbase is crazy long and has thru axle’s with hydro discs so should hopefully be very solid on descents if front loaded?!
Sounds like front loading might work better in that case, although I'd be wary of putting 40L of stuff on the front, it might climb well but it'll probably steer terribly unless you're packing candy floss.
