I quite like the bor yueh blackburn clones (as supplied with dawes bikes in
the mid 90s). The back ones are better than the blackburn equivalents IMO,
primarily due to having a dogleg rather than straight back strut.

Blackburn do the EX-2 ( it think it's called) which has dog legs. I
have one. It's the dog's b*ll*cks. Bor Yueh racks IMO are nowhere near
as good as Blackburn. I've seen an alloy Bor Yueh rack with broken dog
legs - at the seam (bad weld, braze?). Blackburn have a lifetime
guarentee.
