I really like the sackville trunksack small. It carries a lot more than I
would've thought, but it's hard to make it heavy, even full. I use mine to
carry life's doodads ... snacks, wallet, keys, phone, tools, hardware store
errands, camera, all that stuff at the same time. I pair it with a
I also would clarify my response - I rode with a large front basket on my
cheviot for 2 years loading it REALLY full of heavy things (Jannd touring front
rack) and adding large panniers often, and have done a handful of camping trips
only loading the front with everything I brought, no rear
I personally use a Nitto big rear rack with panniers, but with only 10 lbs,
you can also use a larger size saddle sack with a small rack as a support.
I also have a Mark's rack up front with a front bag. It should do fine
with a basket and 10 lbs, but yeah, the rear rack would handle better...
Saddle-Sack is the best thing IMO - unless you're locking up your bike for
short amounts of time a lot in risky areas...kind of a hassle to take off.
Great for all rides except commuting essentially.

+1 to Joe’s comment. I hated the way my Atlantis handled with a front load
above the wheel. It’s much nicer with a rear load, or low riding front
panniers. My point of comparison is my Crust Lightning Bolt, which is a delight
with a front load.
To be completely honest, I think the need for
More power to ya if you're committed to a front basket - Riv staff use them -
but Rivs are optimized for rear loads and I don't like 10 pounds of floppy
steering up front. In your case I would use a Nitto R14 rack, and saddlebag or
basket on the rear.

I am in the market for a rack for my Hilsen. It would be light loads,
10lbs max, and I want to run a basket on it. I figured people here would
have advice/opinions on front vs rear loads on the Hilsen, and maybe even a
specific rack recommendation.
