But the Platrack has two additional straight supports to the front dropouts. I've loaded a LOT more than 4.4 lbs on my Platracks. The limit is not what the rack will carry but how much handling degradation I'm willing to tolerate.

Top Rack: 13lb Rear rack, Med or Big: 44lb Big Front racks: 30lb" Safe cycling, Erl On Tuesday, October 22, 2013 1:34:24 PM UTC-4, jphil...@me.com<mailto:jphil...@me.com> wrote: Does anyone recall what Rivendell said the weight limit is for the Platrack? Should I keep the load limited to lightweight stuff?

Now that i have it on there, wow, those stays that extend down to the dropout are really out there, i just have it in the bike-stand at the moment, so maybe it's just a spatial/visual perception issue, but it looks like a wide stance. My question is for those who use the platrack on a regular basis, any issue with the stays extending so far out to the sides? Any other issues i'm not aware of with this rack? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
