This other thread on racks, I have a photo of the Tubus Ergo and the Nashbar small platform front rack at this posting, the bike shown is my Thorn Sherpa:

and I have the same Tubus Ergo on my 2004 LHT with a Sunlite small platform rack at this posting:

I like the combination of the small platform rack to strap down small lightweight items and the lowrider rack for the front panniers.

I used to use a Surly front rack but it is huge and weighs a ton. I plan to donate the Surly to a charity in the near future, I am very happy with the Tubus Ergo that I bought to replace the Surly rack.
