Cool. I have the LoD trail rack setup on order that you're currently running. Trying to weigh keeping that trail rack vs going full roof. How functional is that little rack? What do you typically carry/store on it when you go out on extended runs?

Really wish they had a kit that would change the lines of the rack depending upon what top your running.
