I have a light weight Soma Lucas front rack on my light weight Wabi Thunder and I like it. I don't need a heavy duty rack for heavy loads so it works for me. I usually choose lighter weight accessories all else being equal. I use a relatively heavy Brooks saddle because it is most comfortable for me so the extra weight is worth it. I don't even have a rack on my Clem as I use a banana sack and Randi Jo Bartender Plus and that's all I need. I am considering a rear rack for Clem and would look for something relatively light weight and minimal in design. I estimate my Clem weighs 32 pounds or so and my Wabi 20 and it is very noticeable when I lift the bikes but not too much when riding, other than accelerating from a stop.
With all that being said, I have no idea if your rack is too heavy, I'm just sharing. lol Doug On Friday, October 7, 2022 at 9:23:22 PM UTC-4 Joe Bernard wrote: > Ah geez, I did an awful lot of talking you out of it for someone who wants > to be talked into it (see, earlier: Why are you even posting Joe??).
