Message: I really like the design of the Tubus Cosmo in that it includes the lower rail of the Logo as well as the updaide down V shaped strut of the Cargo. Obviously steel is attractive to me because of the piece of mind it offers being that it can be welded in the event something breaks.

I will be using it in remote areas and on rough roads and trails and I'm curious whether going with stainless vs choromoly is any issue in terms of any emergency welding.

I've read in some places that chromoly is stronger than stainless and in others that stainless is stronger. Is there any significant difference?

Thanks,
Michael

This is exactly the type of info I was looking for, thank you.

If going the powder coated chromoly route I would assume that it would be a good thing to wrap the areas that panniers hooks and mounting hardware comes in contact with some kind of protective tape or just plain electrical tape.
