Jandd Expedition Rear Racks
Designed to carry 50 lbs. of gear, the Jandd rack
seems very strong and durable. As of yet they
have performed without problem.

Blackburn Lowrider Front Rack
Top-heavy bikes tend to tip over. The lower the
weight the more stable the ride. Blackburn lowrider
racks allow us to carry our front packs close to the
ground. When there is too much weight on the front
the bike is a bit difficult to turn and tends to go in it
own direction.
Every so often the front packs have jumped off of this
rack after hitting a bump in the road. You can see the
flat black bar where the clips of the pack rest... well...
the clips of Ortlieb packs are designed to close
entirely around the rack, but the flat bar does not
allow them to close completely.
If we had a chance to do it again we would probably
purchase the Tubus rack designed to work specifically
with Ortlieb packs... Live and Learn.
