• 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!

  • I've ridden with variations of this set up and I love it. I actually really like having most the weight up front. Last trip I'd switched the Carradice for a Topeak Backloader.
