Rack Recall,can you make it stronger.
Will the rear rack carry 40lbs. With cross-country travel we need to carry approx. this amount any suggestions on what to do.
Thanks.

For 40 LB, you probably want something like this.

That's a 1/2" aluminum plate. If it breaks, the back end of the bike better break off with it.
This rack itself weighs a good 8 or 9 lb. Very solid rack.
Edit: Who you calling a dummy!!!

The deal with the rack is the plastic will fail if it is pulled up. They replaced the plastic with a thicker version. if when whatever box is bolted to the rack does not have something pulling it up it can hold many, many pounds. All that is needed is a small brace that bolts to the front mounts and then bolt the box to it.
