This is the ultimate basketpacking product. Takes small panniers and you can fit all kinds of stuff in the basket.
Or get the small commuter rack and zip-tie a wald to it.

I actually like that, especially since it's made with a basket in mind and keep the weight down without needing an actual rack plus basket zip tie to it, the question is whether it's as strong and stable, or it's the conservative party.
I just checked the spec; the basket one is 1.2kg, the actual Commuter front rack (small) is 1kg, 200g more with the basket.

Right, I'm riding to Rotterdam and then Sheffield via Dunkirk starting early next week.
I already have a full compliment of Ortlieb panniers and a Tubus Tara rack, but no rear rack as I destroyed it on my last big outing.
I don't want to carry all the weight on the front rack as the bike will feel terrible, so do I buy a new rear rack or go for a pizza rack and saddle bag approach. I'm aiming to keep weight down to a minimum on the bike, but the weather forecast(tent or bivvy) will have a bearing on that as well. Thanks!
