Vitesse d7hg: How well does this one handle pottholes? Maintenance issues?--folding issues?--how much weight can the rack take?
while I don't have the D7HG, I do have the previous year's model Vitesse D7
it handles pot holes, pretty decently, like most 20" folders will
it doesn't rust like the steel models, maintenance on the drive train is even easier with an IGH.
can't have too many accessories on the bars, otherwise you can't fold the bar properly.
the arc rack should be able to handle around 10kg. I've stuffed 8kg on there before and it held up fine.
touring rack can take 12kg.
