Re: [RBW] Front rack for panniers and handlebar bag

Thanks, Steve - yep, it was kind of a coup / kind of a curse to come home with a CARLOAD of Bruce Gordon racks. I've sold through *most* of the ones I'd initially batched having the best and most consistent quality - but I do still have a bunch of prototypes / unpainted / one-offs (in addition to a

Forgot to add that I like your Rock Combo, especially with front and rear BG racks. When I sold my Thorn it had the BG high front rack, front and rear. Steve On Sat, Jan 13, 2018 at 5:48 PM Steven Sweedler wrote: > Joe, I use a small piece of metal at the bottom attachment spot, according > to

Hi Steven! So your All Rounder has a midfork properly located for BG lowrider? That's rad - I didn't know that Riv did this (maybe only the early years?)… can you confirm if it's the Gordon-spec of 7.5" (190cm) distance between eyelets high and low? =- Joe Bunik Walnut Creek, CA On 1/12/18, Stev

I’ve used the big front, Nitto 27f and a pass/Stow 3 bar. All are good, though other than the 27f, not really lowriding. Downsides: -Big front feels really big -27f requires adding/subtracting the low rider mounts and I ended up never using them -pass and stow is functionally the best, but finis

Hey folks, I'm looking for recommendations for a front rack that will let me use lowrider panniers AND a handlebar bag. I'm sure the Nitto Big Front Rack works, but has anyone used something else and loved it? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW O
