>>1372548it makes a lot in my case. i do my trips in a mtb and usually go to mountain rides after camping, so putting and taking off the rear rack is pretty annoying.
also a lower center of gravity makes handling more easy and confy.
on the other side, if you have to put your bike in a bus/train/ferry etc, is more gear to pack and unpack, and i've heard that they are a bit dangerous descending very steep hills.
