I like the MEC website. Ive purchased some of their little stuff before but have been hesitant to buy something big. I like the world tour rear panniers, even though I think that 56L is pretty large, but I could make due with 56L on a xcounty.

Question, has anybody bought a front or rear rack from MEC and put a decent amount of weight on it? The racks look sort of weak and are definatly made out of some sort of alloy.
