What’s your brake setup?If you’re using cantis, there’s a nice trick to keep the bag from affecting your brake cable action and still secure it to your head tube.Mine actually kinda rests on my front rack tombstone, but not the rack platform itself On Oct 14, 2024, at 7:13 PM, Donzaemon wrote:Hi

Great story Josh. If Riv cannot furnish a head badge, check with Jen Green in Phila. (Revolution Cycle Jewelry) www.headbadges.com / j...@headbadges.com. She does all kinds of beautiful badges and has made a couple for me. I added one to my 1989 custom Bontrager CX bike, but had to provide

I have wondered if the Nitto 32r might mitigate this problem with that little loop it has at the bottom. Anyone ever tried a 32r on "larger" sized frames? Seems like it would just sit a little lower in profile. (closer to the wheel) Also curious about these racks, Keith On Tuesday, October 8

Hi all, I picked up a Ron's Fabio's Chest in the large size a while back for another bike, but I'm considering using it on my Homer (mounted to the handlebars). That said, between the long head tube and tall stack stem, I'm not sure there are any racks that would work as a bag support. For thos
