Needing to replace a front rack after it's died. Looking for a rack for touring that can be taken off and put in a bike box for travelling - making porteur racks less attractive given the need to disassemble and reassemble.
Current front runner is Surly's Nice Rack 2.0 Front but it weighs a lot (1382 gram) but flipside is that it can carry a decent load.
Tubus Grand Expedition looks like it would hit the spot but doesn't look like it would hit the spot. There's also Tubus' Tare and Duo racks but do like the option of lashing items on top and definitely reduced load carrying capacity.
Have I missed anything in particular?
