Which racks did you go with? I'm in the market for a front rack and people seem to like the Tubus brand. Can't wait to see pictures and hear a report!

Trek 7.2 FX w/ B68 - commuter
I bought rear racks. My better half speaks highly of Tubus.
I chose The Tubus Logo Evo http://tubus.com/product.php?xn=26
I drooled over the titanium models, but they´re quite expensive, too expensive unfortunately![]()
The Logo Evo is a new model of the popular Logo. The smart thing about the Logo Evo is the two horizontal rails. You can put your panniers on the lower rail. It helps prevent your heels touching the panniers and helps stabilize your bicycle, when you´re on the go
The package did not arrive today![]()
consider the tubus tara or the tubus duo, they are both low riders which is nice for panniers. I have a Nitto front rack - the M12 and love it because it is very light weight but it doesn't hold panniers so I put the duo's on for touring.
Racktime is another one to consider (made by Tubus) the topit is pretty nice.

The second Tubus rack is now on my fabulous KonaMy boyfriend is so talented
But I haven't biked on it yet. My better half is working on my bike, he's started a big service on the bike. Meanwhile I had some spare time and I (oops) ordered a bunch of bike stuff
My order contains a set of Schwalbe Marathon Supremes folding tyres in 37-622, woooooop wooooop
And some wool bra's and wool socks, helmet rain cover, a flat bar, shoe covers, rear and front lights etc etc etc
It's too expensive to own a computer nowadays
I will post some pics of my second commuter with Ortliebs on it, when the bike is "bike able" again![]()
My Kona is resurrectedShe's got new DT Swiss wheels, a new Tubus rack and new Marathon Supreme tires. She's fab
