Sorry to hijack the thread.
I'm pleased with my Jandd Expedition rack. It is not particularly light tho. It will (in theory) carry 70 lbs, but with my setup that's not a good idea. Jandd makes a couple lighter, shorter length racks that get good reviews. I went with the Expedition half out of laziness (LBS doesn't stock the shorter racks) and half out of fear that I'd have heel strike issues with a "standard" rack. This turned out to be a reasonable and sensible fear, cause if I'm not careful I have heel strike with the Expedition. Apparently a size 9 women's foot counts as large for my bike . Not really surprising tho, since I have relatively short legs and big feet
