I am looking for new rear rack. I currently have old rack that I got with my first bike (about 20 years ago) so it shows its age.

I considered 2 options:

  • aluminum rack
  • cheaper option, they are everywhere
  • CrMo steel rack
  • durability, weight, less probability of corrosion of my CrMo frame.

So if you have some specific suggestions I would like to read them. I was looking at Tubus racks (grand tour and Logo) and some Decathlon options.

      Found the statement here:

      ISO 11243:2016 requires that all luggage carriers with a carrying capacity of 27 kg or more automatically be approved for the attachment of child seats, too. In our opinion, transporting children on luggage carriers is dangerous, so we voluntarily restrict the carrying capacity of tubus luggage carriers to max. 26 kg, thus excluding the attachment of child seats and/or the transport of children on our carriers. This restriction has only the legal reasons mentioned above. tubus carriers are still tested with considerably higher luggage loads (which are specified for each product in brackets).

      Your Cargo Classic was tested with 40kg.
