@King_Saxlingham I've got it zip-tied down and seems it seems pretty secure. Most likely changing the bag out anyway.
@Belagerent Not sure its possible to add a second set of struts with this rack. It feels pretty secure but sudden catastrophic failure doesn't really care about what it 'feels like' I suppose.
Carbonda's page does say it's suitable for racks but that isn't much to go on, to be honest.
Total weight including rack is approx. 3.2kg , and that split between two leg mounts and one crown mount is approx. 1kg each mount. I'm sure there is weight distribution difference between the crown and the leg mounts but for simplicity lets say that. That sounds reasonably safe to me? I guess we will find out...
@jmg412 I think I'll get on with it after summer. It needs lots of parts and some repair to the frame.
@amey I would actually love a brompton...
