Two pounds for a rack? My alu rack always seems surprisingly light to me whenever I take it off. Is yours made of lead?
It's a Topeak MTX Super Tourist and it actually only weighs 1.87 pounds.
Really, I don't think it's that bad. The real weight comes when I actually start carrying things. I think even my empty trunk bag is heavier than the rack itself.
