jags,
I have used Blackburn & Bor Yueh copy, Tubus Tara & Ergo, and Thorn low riders in the search for the perfect front rack. I have also used Karrimor, Carradice, Vaude, Altura and Edinburgh Coop panniers.

I have still to try the Tubus Duo, but the credit crunch has curtailed my spending.

The biggest difference has been the ease/difficulty of attaching the panniers to the rack in the position I wanted to put them. Often the rack frame and the pannier clips have clashed requiring surgery and/or compromise.

You really can't go wrong with any of the above, they all do the job.
I have ended up using the Ergo rack plus Carradice Super C front panniers fitted with Arkel clips as the best for me.

bob's,
thanks for that,im not even sure i will need the front  rack and panniers for my france tour..
trying to keep things as light as possible, but i still have 2 really full rear panniers,
can't squeeze any more in.i can get the ergo rack and ortlieb sport packer plus at a really good price from a fell club member,but as you said ,money is tight so i have to spend careful.

Hi Jags,
I had both the Tubus and a Thorn one both are very good but you cant use 2 at the same time and as I had a rear black Thorn rack  I chose to kep the black Thorn front rack so they would match.
