The SWM rack system works well in practice, but is not as strong as others. The weak point is the rear stay, which attaches to the number plate bracket. It does not go straight from one side to the other and in a fall will bend outwards and rearwards, and as it is attached, will push the mudguard assembly out causing damage. The one OTR rack I've seen looks impressively strong (20mm tube). For price/strength combo though you can't go far wrong with the Holan rack.
