Seems like you have some nice trails.
Right, the rack itself is insignificant. Makes no difference, though some
might stare and wonder, "why is that guy going off road with a rack"? Going
with a loaded bike on singletrack is a different story. I would not even
consider it. Singletrack is all about balance and technical stuff. Riding
with luggage would simply not be any fun. That goes for BOBs too.

They are excellent, made in chromobdylen, weigh half a kg or so and easily
carry some 70 pounds, have used ours in India, in the Alps and SE-Asia,
never had a problem.

Yes, the Taiwanese are world leading in welding, so why not. Might spur a
new industry even.
