From what I can see, the Tubus racks do NOT fold flat like the Bike Friday rack does. In addition, The BF rack is priced about the same as the lower end Tubus racks.
Since we travel with our Bike Friday's mounted on a board with QR's in our SUV, or just folded and tossed in our TOYOTA Yaris Liftback, I really appreciate space saving items like the folding racks. I always pack one in our bike tool/accessory bag - easy, since it folds so flat (that's a bag we carry with us in the SUV, not on the bikes).
