The real advantage of the Pass and Stow rack is the stiffness and stability 
of it: it won't break, and it won't sway or wobble.  Good strength/weight 
ratio.  That is a real advantage, which none of the alternatives possess. 
 Also MUSA by a cool guy. 

If you don't want a custom rack, or you want to be able to switch your rack 
from one bike to another, there will never be a reason to regret springing 
for the Pass and Stow.  A light mounts perfectly under the platform, so as 
to be protected from impacts but not obstruct the beam.  There's internal 
wiring holes.  It's lovely.

It seems to me to be the perfect combination of needs, from panniers to top 
platform to not being "too' big (eg Surly 24-pack). Does anyone have some 
updated pix, especially with bags and/or wald basket, to share? I noticed

As far as the Pass & Stow i'm glad to see all the praise, I've been wanting

2016-03-13 Thread KTY
No mention yet of the SOMA porteur here, but I've been using it for 4+ 
years on my commuter, and I can't recommend it highly enough. I've carried 
everything from 30 pounds of books to an old Weber grill that I found on 
the side of the road, disassembled, and strapped on. Putting a basket on a 
porteur kinda defeats the purpose, though. The table itself is highly 
versatile. Velo Orange sells a duffle bag that integrates well with a 
porteur rack.

I've used a Pass & Stow rack previously on a G1 Kogswell and currently on 
my daily driver Pelican for the last several years:

https://flic.kr/p/cSTbtS

Both have been low trail bikes, but it seems really bombproff anyway. I 
sometimes use panniers with a flat top, sometimes strap my Zugster rando 
bag on top for tidy commuting. I fully endorse it.

Matt, Mr. P&S, also has a new 3-Rail front rack (about half the width of 
the porteur), and a new back rack in the works. He also said he has found a 
new, more durable powder-coat for the racks. 

I ordered a 3-Rail rack for myself a few days ago.

I've used my P&S porteur on my Hunq. Very nice, very strong, very useful by 
itself or with a basket, or with panniers.

You might want to check out the Haulin Colin rack also. The price is 
similar to the Pass & Stow, but it uses the mid-fork braze-ons. I have one 
on my Soma GR and I'm planning on adding a lowrider rack for touring this 
summer.

But the Pass & Stow is pretty slick (I didn't realize it had the internal 
routing for lighting wires) and would give you lots of options carrying 
stuff.

I also use a Nitto 32F with a basket on my Quickbeam and it works really 
well. 

Now that I've finished typing this, I realize that I'm not helping at all. 
Maybe just buy one of each!

Not a direct answer to the Pass & Stow specifically, but I use the Surly 
Nice Rack on the front of my Clem with a couple front panniers and an Acorn 
rando bag resting on top. I'm trying like one of Grant's bikes and just 
living with all those on the bike. It seems to handle weight in the 
panniers fine. I haven't had an excuse to haul a folding end table on it 
yet like I did on the predecessor, so, I don't know how it handles weird 
weight higher on the platform, but it did fine on a beer run with a six 
pack in each pannier last night, at any rate. So long as I keep the weight 
split evenly it seems to ride fine.
