I can't understand the appeal of putting weight over the front wheel and messing up your handling.
That give the implications that the bicycles weren’t designed to run with a front rack in the first place.
Biggest factor; the fork (on top of its design to) take the weight leaving the frames free of rack keeping it nice and lively, as well as a better weight distribution compare to the traditional set up of rear rack only.
Weight distribution mean it actually easier to climb without the front wheel attempting to lift away from the tarmac, and greater traction while descending.

Quite honestly I hope I never see another rear pannier in my life.

F*ck this bullshite.
Maybe on a non-travel geo mtb with short rear stays this is true. But man, if you are a real world experiencer you would never say this stuff.
Why do you think you just see the Radavist bling Insta bikes with just front racks and world travelers with most weight in the back and only some small light gear low int the front?
Because there not afraid of the style police right?

What is the obsession with the front-rack-but-no-rear-rack setup? Is it just that it looks cool? I can't understand the appeal of putting weight over the front wheel and messing up your handling, when it could just go in rear panniers.
