[#6232488]

need to get a new pannier rack for 13mile mixed off/on road commute, but want something quite minimal/lightweight for the days i don't take panniers (4/5 days) or for longer rides/cx races at the weekend. have an old chunky alumnium topeak one from my mtb but it weighs a tonne and is about 1foot wide... ๐Ÿ˜› needs to be strong enough to carry 2 panniers full of goodies from the market/off licence/post office too. i've seen a tortec ultralite one which looks good but wondering if there's any hidden gems i'm missing? any recommendations too?

Tortec Velocity or Tubus fly?

I've been using a Blackburn EX for 5+ years and found it to be very good. It's pretty light and sturdy enough to carry two Ortlieb backrollers full to the brim with shopping without issue.
