Thanks for all the comment and advice. I've decided to go with the Tara lowriders and have a local builder braze on eyelets where needed; $25 plus rattlecan touchup; can't beat that. May have Tubus's clamps for sale. On Tue, Jun 22, 2010 at 11:36 AM, Rene Sterental wrote: > Have you checked to se

to me, I think the BeesKnees is the Nitto Campee front rack with low riders. It attaches to the canti mounts and the fork eyelet. and you can take off the the low rider mounts when you are just carring a front bag. I'm about ready to order one for a July s24o I've got planned. Sounds much easier

I may get a local builder to do this, and just put a black stripe around the work. We'll see. May be cheaper than the Tubus clamp. But I think Ortliebs for the front. On Mon, Jun 21, 2010 at 12:14 PM, doug peterson wrote: > Patrick: > > IIRC, you're pretty handy at DIY. Just add another set of

The "mid-fork" braze-ons on Rivs are designed for mini front racks, not low riders, so I doubt you will find any low riders that will fit the braze-ons on a Sam (but let us know if you do). The other option is to use hose clamps (which require a one-piece low rider rack) (or add braze-ons as mentio
