Looking at the rear racks on French camping bikes and wonder if they are prone to flexing laterally. They sure look like there isn't much to prevent racking to the left and right.
Is that an issue? What prevents that sort of motion? I can't envision any sort of triangulation or web section to address it. The connection to the mid point of the SS appears to be the tension member that keeps the rack from pivoting down and backwards - Does that work OK? They lower the CG but also move it aft - does that feel funny? I keep wondering if all in all this sort of design is really superior to the more conventional designs of the present.
Interested to know whachya'll think.
