My full alloy rack broke on the last desert crossing which I purchased to save a bit of weight over my steel one ..... makes me wonder how a couple of lightweight bars would do, as there is a lot of weight momentum when hitting the dips and bumps out on the tracks. Rightly or wrongly, I see these type of bars as city use only.
