Tubus Ergo Front Rack Capacity

Post by iandusud »

I'm in need of a front pannier rack for our tandem. I've seen a s/h Tubus Ergo but in checking online there seems to be some contradictory info re load capacity. Some sellers state 15kg others 10kg. This is compared to 18kg for the Tara rack. I can't see any good reason why the Ergo's capacity should be any lower than the Tara. Does anyone have any ideas on this?

Cheers, Ian

I read this on the pannier.cc website.

"Compared to the Tara, the Ergo has a 10mm tube diameter which limits the loading to 10kg"

According to the fitting instructions that came with my tubus ergo the maximum is 15kg (33lbs).

Thanks for the replies. It would appear that 15kg is correct figure if that's what came with nick12's rack. However Tubus have contradictory info on their site.
