I'm thinking about getting the Jandd Expedition. I like that it has a center strip, and is wide and long. since my wheels are 700cc I figure why not utilize as much real estate as possible over that gigantic wheel?

All the other racks I've looked into, including the ones listed above have been pretty thin. AFAIK all the Tubus stuff is like 4 inches wide! That is so thin!

The Jandd is 6inches wide by 16.75 inches long. Seems like a much better do, no ?

with a 4 inch wide rack like the tubus, i dont even feel like I could put my backpack on that thing for a jot down to the library!

any thoughts?
