I believe you. One more question, if I may. Given that it will carry so much gear on the back, but you have also made provision for a front rack, do I assume correctly that you'd still split the load front/rear for optimum handling? Just curious, because my Thorn Nomad, which has a pretty long wheelbase (not as long as this one, obviously) and can take a very big load at the rear, still seems to me to handle best if, for loads above say 35lbs, I split it 80/20, or 70/30, rear/front.
