Oh, i hadn't noticed.
Anyways, i just checked, and my RedRock rear+Sherpa front weigh 1050 grams, which is less than one Surly Nice.
I wonder why they decided to make a rack that heavy. I mean, i know the Surly mentality favors utility over style, but unless they're designed to second as aircraft carriers, i don't understand this at all.
I'm sorry, i'm in the late stages of becoming a weight weenie when it comes to my commuter/tourer, so i've been noticing these things...
