Hey Folks: I have a Nitto 32F that I bought with my Sam in 2009. I haven't used it much, and it has spent most of its life in a closet. Riv's rating for its capacity is 4.4 pounds. This is probably very conservative, but I am not one to test fate. The M18 seems like a great little rack, and while I can see potential failure points there as well, I like that the struts are adjustable rather than fixed like the 32F. It's also rated up to 5kg, more than double the 32F. If I sold the 32F, I would like $120 shipped OBO.
I would love to hear from anyone with experience using both of these racks. Should I just stick with the 32F because the rating is probably super conservative or should I swap over to the M18? What else should I be thinking about here? I have also considered acquiring an R14 to be mounted up front a la Grant. Would that be a good call? Any other suggestions? FWIW, this rack will spend most of its time on my new Surly Troll (and some on my Sam), which I will ride mostly off-road and to/from trails. It will support a saddlebag mounted up front and/or a basket, depending on the day.
