  • I mostly use the classic rack for my Barley, but that's for ease of removal more that for the support itself. When loaded for touring I suppose I've got 10-15 kg in the saddlebag, which feels like a bit much to be hanging off the saddle rails. While a Carradice isn't a weight-weenie option, I suppose I'm just intrigued as to how minimal a support you could make. Both the bagman QR and the classic rack are IIRC ~350g, which is comparable with a lightweight pannier rack like the Tubus Fly. The titanium Airy pannier rack is ~230g, and the RenĂ© Herse front rack is ~190g; I'd assume that you could get a custom support at that kind of weight.
