Not relevant to the OP, but I have been wondering for a while why people usually go for high end racks like Nitto and Tubus.
I Axiom rack on my Sam seems perfect to me for just about anything. I generally use it for commuting, which is no big strain, but I have also used it for self supported touring and the occasional grocery run. It's this one: http://www.axiomgear.com/products/gear/racks/journey-series/journey/ $30 and it's rated for something like 150 lbs. Haven't tested that and don't intend to, but I have never had any problems with this rack. Just wondering.
