Yes, I think the Nitto Campee racks really complement the Orange Hillborne well. Although the placement of the rack mounts don't allow for a perfectly level rack, it works pretty well and is super solid. The front rack had to be shimmed a little to keep it from contacting the fork.
The derailleurs are Shimano XT: -- Shimano FD-M771 XT -- Shimano RD-M771 XT SGS -- SRAM PG-950 11-34t 9-speed I found the best part about riding the bike is the "Silver" bar-end shifters ... the bike shifts quickly and accurately with just a light touch.
