Thorn used to rate their heaviest duty rack at a higher weight rating if you use 6mm bolts than the standard 5mm bolts. Thus, I don't put too much faith in really high weight ratings, as the limiting factor is the bolts.

I now feel that the
Logo Evo might have been a better choice. It is only 67 grams more weight too.

I bought a Logo EVO about a month ago and used it on a 500 mile tour with a heavy load. Worked great. Very stiff, stiffer than the Surly rack that it replaced. But, it has such a narrow platform that it is essentially unusable with a rack top bag or trunk. I will pull it off the bike in the near future and use a cheap rack around town that has a wider platform for a rack top bag, but the Logo EVO will be used on my future tours with panniers.
