i recently added a luggage rack on the back of my mountain bike i dont know if i should keep it on there or take it off. i only ride novice styled trails and i am sure it has the strength to stay on the bike but i dont put any thing on it. its only use would be as a mud guard or to keep the tyre from bitte ing me in the but when i jump

so should it stay or should it go?

ps. im not overly concerned about weight, the rack is not heavy

If you don't use it take it off. The less stuff on the bike the less chance of a problem. If you just bought it and don't use it... then why did you buy it exactly????

It's no big deal either way though.

If its not heavy and not getting in the way, you may as well keep it.

If you decide to use it to run small errands or commute on the bike, it would be really useful.
