This one:

about £35 all in, seems ok, time will tell, good so far, does what it says on the tin.
My top box overtook me one day as i slowed down near my work going through a 6' 6" width restriction.
Renntec racks have a manufacturers recommended weight limit of 2.5kg believe it or not, and i think the fact i use 2 roads daily with speed bumps to and from work took it's toll and the rack just snapped clean in half.
2.5kg does sound like feck all but i s'pose they do their own tests and come up with a safe upper limit to cover themselves.
