I had no idea that cromoly tubes were so expensive so Im now looking for alternatives…

a generic question I have is, does it really matter on what I use of its not for a competition setup?

I mean I dnt care if its relatively heavy… my initial thoughts was using stainless steel tubes or even construction rods but everyone online seem to recommend only using cromoly…

edit: ordered 5x25mm wtainless steel tubes for 15eur (1.5m) the same in cromoly couldnt find them under 70eur…

    I assume rear rack but then they’re usually aluminium no?

      alu is to weak and not a good alternative to cromoly (i had the pizza rack from specialized fail on me on heavy load)
