Re: appreciate the info light/stiff etc...

I'm attaching a link to the post about my rack.

As I say in the post, the rack works extemely well - I'm still happy with it nearly 3 years later and I think I actually appreciate it more now than I did when I first built it. It does have one big problem, however: it's not really all that adaptable if you change gear. It's a custom solution sized to the gear you have at the time you make it. If you change gear down the track, the new gear may not fit as well, or at all, and the rack is hard to change so that the new stuff will fit. I've been lucky. I swapped CDPs and the new one worked fine where the old one did, even though it was a bit larger, and I bought a tuner to go in the spare component space I had and that fit also, but only just. Bigger gear is probably going to be less of a problem than smaller gear, provided it will fit into the frame, but I wouldn't go my way if you change gear often.
