The Journey doesn't look to have stronger tubing or welds as other alloy racks I have seen, which tend to have 40 lb-ish ratings. That being said, I have gone grocery shopping with an Axiom Journey and large panniers, and everything worked fine.

Axiom Journey racks use a hand welded, heat treated 6063 tubing, oversized compared to Blackburn or Voyager racks, have a load rating of 154lbs and carry a lifetime warranty. I've seen a couple bent as a result of crashes, but have yet to see one broken, or to see any welds fail. Those are actually the racks I recommend to most cyclists.

Tubus Cargo is a great rack. the olny thing i would love to change is i' d like to have lower pannier mounting possibilities. Axiom Journey is also great rack for the price.

I had some lower rails brazed on a Cargo. On a 26" wheeled LHT with a Cargo for 26" wheel bikes it makes for a very stable load.

I ended up with the Cargo Evo. I can't describe how happy I am with it. Light, rigid, easy to install, plenty of loading options and no clearance issues at all, even with 60mm wide tires. Note that the tire clearance is similar to the one on the chainstays
