Gear Talk / front rack questions

« on: May 05, 2017, 10:03:12 pm »

I have toured for years and never used a front rack and am finally going to get one. I have a Trek 520 NOT the disc brakes. Just regular brakes. I saw some racks that were low riders - if I pack kind of light in the front are low riders important? I don't have a lot of gear. I am just tired of always rummaging through the two panniers with what I want always on the bottom. I thought the front panniers would keep me organized.

I do have a small handlebar bag - would that get in the way of the rack?

Any recommendations for a light weight and sturdy rack? Thanks.
