I wouldn't bend it. Sell it to the highest bidder and buy yourselve a

I don't see what you will gain. Bending the top center strut could
make the rack level, but how do you hope to lengthen the bottom struts
to match? Straighten
No reason not to bend. I just did the strut bends on a PlatRack with no
issues:

"Is the canti stud to fork crown distance the same on all your bikes?"
I have four bikes, two rivendells. One of the Rivendells has canti posts,
so yes the canti posts on all my Rivendells with canti posts are the same.

Both of my bikes that take a Nitto mini front rack (one riv and one

I bought this a few months ago and stored it for my new 650B Project. It's
the Ranger Tan color which is a medium brown canvas, a very nice looking
bag. I decided not to use this kind of bag so I'd like to sell it. Brand
new, never even attached to bike. I'll sell it for $160 shipped in CONUS.
I have successfully bent a Nitto M-12 (mounts to the canti posts) to
fit level on a bike that also has huge clearance between tire and fork
crown: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gernothuber/6126662617/ (shown

It's the same for me. Only I'm really lucky. All downhill on the way in in the

I wish I could do a commute like yours.. that's about the perfect
distance to do daily at least at my age. Mine unfortunately is 25
miles one way and I can only manage it about twice a week in better
weather. Any more and it gets to be a grind. When I was younger I
could recover adequately but
The past few weeks have reminded me about why my routine ~6 mile ride to and

It provides a mini adventure to start and end the day with.
The half hour that is usually takes relaxes me in the morning and provides
decompression in the evenings.

This happens occasionally on mine too. I just tighten it and it's
fine. I thought that's the way they work. I'll be taking it in for a
tuneup and have them looked at. It only happens once every few months

themselves loose over time.

Looking at your red Atlantis, I feel sorry for everyone with the

And you aren't splitting hairs with that rack. I would spend some time
fixing it too.

Hmmm, i went downstairs to check my Hillborne and sure enough the dog-bones
are much lower then on your atlantis with relation to the canti-bosses. If
this were my bike i'd see if i could bend the two arms to try and level it.
if that was too much work i'd just live with the unlevelness, while
Well Olie, isn't this a fine kettle of fish!
Apparently, as the tire clearance under the crown increases, the canti
studs remain a constant distance from the drop outs, but the rack braze-ons
need to move up from the drop outs to remain a constant distance from the
crown hole. Eventually one i
Interesting questions, Phil. As the owner, I've wondered the same thing about a

While we wait with bated breath for Michael's reply with the measurement, I'd
thought I would call attention to the distance between the brake post braze-on
and the rack braze-on. Does anyone else think they are a bit close?

That surprises me, I thought the Atlantis had a higher crown than
most. The pictures show so much room over the tires.
If I recall correctly, when I fit my mini racks I mounted the fork

dogbone. I think that mostly involved strai

I have an orange Sam and love it, so far my favorite bike. My bet is that
you really like it and you want to ride it all the time.

It's a very smooth and comfortable ride. A local friend has one and likes
the ride a lot.

Measure the distance to test Michael's theory. The easiest measurement is
from the center of the dogbone boss, along the fork blade to the tippy top
of the crown. All these Riv crowns are close enough in height that this
distance will be really close. Both my Bombadil and my Hilsen measure

It looks like the fork mounts are a little low. I don't think you can hurt
the rack, but I would start by straightening the stays to the fork blades
and then the connector to the crown. A little at a time is probably best.

Thanks for the data point. I definitely don't see the weight as a
problem either. It is just a secondary feature that comes out however
it does when you get the size, clearance, handling, and stoutness
desired sorted out.

Just out of curiosity, I put my 54cm Hunq frame on the bathroom scale when

the Hunq will have longer fork and stays to accomodate 700c wheels. I
