What's the bees knees in rear racks these days.Tubus,Bor

that folks can recommend.I was looking at a Tubus model ( The Logo )

on which the panniers fit on a lower bar presumably making the bike
more stable.Anyone any comments as they are quite a price ( £70 ).

I have a Bor Yeuh rack on my tourer which is good but it was a bugger
getting the Karrimor pannier disks on as the tube thickness was at the
upper limit. Definitely worth ckecking that your existing panniers
will fit easily.

The other advantage I can see for the Logo rack for my panniers is
that it will take the tops of the panniers below the top of the rack,
that means I can fit a rack pack more easily or stick something on
the rack which sticks out sideways (the Karrimor panniers rise above
my rack and make this difficult.)

Yes I was also thinking that about the pannier tops being lower on the Tubus
Logo making a rack top bag easier to attach.I have some Ortliebs and was
wondering if dropping them down the rack as the Logo does would mean the
bottom fixing point was too low for the rack.Still I presume these things
have been thought of.
