He said to say that we have FCR3s, not FCR1s. I guess the FCR3 has a stronger fork?

We are thinking of trying out one of each of the below racks. It seems like it's really a question of personal preference (since we don't need to carry more than a days water with us).

We traded in our 5-man car camping gear for a 2-man North Face Tadpole that weighs about 5lbs packed and our bivys are also ultra-light. We don't plan to take the direct route from Cork to Galway (what would be the fun in that!?): we plan to follow the coast but I expect that we will always be on paved roads.


The racks are the last thing we have to buy. Other than that, we just need to get on our bikes! I'm primarily responsible for the planning of this trip, so I'm so worried that I've forgotten something important.
