Who has experience of Pelago front racks?
I like them. Pretty good stuff for the price. Only downside I sometimes hear is the narrow horizontal bars for panniers, but they work well with my Ortliebs (which have adjustable mounts).
I have the 'large', with the widest platform. Fully loaded (around 15kg):

Pelago racks are great. They’re rated to 15kg but I’ve carried my 55kg fiancé on it and it was fine. I’ve also toured extensively with it heavily loaded (including rad/rough riding) The pannier mounting bars are indeed narrow but work perfectly with my Ortlieb panniers. I also find them at an ideal height, minimal issues with panniers catching on stuff when off road.
Having tried numerous porteur racks and researched many more, the pelago is the one I would recommend.

Really good rack imo. I've wald basket on it for that #rackandbasketlyfe and have run it with small front panniers for touring.
Be aware that if you have a very wide fork like a rigid mtb or similar the panniers might rub a bit on the forks legs.

Who has experience of Pelago front racks? Worth it or is a better alternative around at a cheaper price?
