Racks on XC50
Hi
I beg to differ on the use of racks on the XC50. Last September I did a 765 mile tour from St Malo to the Pyrenees with fron and rear racks loaded with camping gear. Some of the canal towpaths and coast tracks were very rough to say the least. The only problems I had were the bead of a Top Touring 2000 delaminating resulting in a bump every revolution and the rear wheel needed re truing afterwards, otherwise a great ride.
