I'm looking to put a 14X9X9.5 basket on the front of my Quickbeam, and I'm trying to decide which Nitto rack to use to support it - either the mini-front or two-strut toprack. My main concern is the weight limit of the mini-front, as I prefer the minimalist aesthetics of it, but I don't wan to push it with hefty loads.
I'm a student and I imagine there will be a lot of bulky book loads in this bike's future, averaging probably 10-15 lbs. in the front basket. I've seen mini-fronts with the huge Wald baskets on some of the 'staff bike' photos on Riv's website, so that would lead me to believe that the mini-front has been taken to task with lots of weight. So basically, I think I'd prefer a mini-front for less weight/bulkiness, but I'm wondering if you all think it might be worth investing in some more structural integrity with the toprack? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
