Given a choice between a rack that mounted through the brakes or on seperate bazeons, I would always opt for seperate. How will these racks mount to bikes w/out canti breaks? It looks like a design with limited frame options. Right now Riv is only offering the Atlantis w canti breaks and it's rumored to be headed for a vacation. I'm baffled by the thinking behind this rack.
