Re: [RBW] Re: An interesting match of the Nitto R-15 rear rack and Berthoud panniers

So far I'm liking it (except for the brake issues I caused by mounting a strut in contact with the rear brake cable housing!) The Big Rear is probably overkill for me, and looks that way aestheticallywhereas the r14 doesn't support panniers which is what I wanted. I've got a large saddlesa

Beautiful rack! How do you like it compared to the R14 and the Nitto Big Rear? René On Sunday, January 13, 2013, Dave wrote: > boring nighttime indoor photos prove it ;) > > > >

Jim: That is a gorgeous rack. The second set of bars seems such a simple addition that greatly enhances the utility of the rack. Being able to load the platform without disturbing the panniers would make simplify life on tour. Just around town it's nice to just clip on a pannier as needed &

Mike: Thanks a million! THAT is the rack I've been designing in my head off'n'on forever. Simple, clean, with the 2nd set of pannier bars. I just could never work out all the angles, etc., to hand off to a custom rack builder. I'll be the first one on my block (it's a short block) to get on

[RBW] Re: An interesting match of the Nitto R-15 rear rack and Berthoud panniers

Doug, I agree that a second set of bars beneath the platform would be a good feature for many of the larger Nitto racks. I have a custom rack that was made many years ago for my Schwinn Paramount by Jock Fisher (RIP) who was a partner of Tim Isaac at that time. The rack has the second set, and I'

[RBW] Re: An interesting match of the Nitto R-15 rear rack and Berthoud panniers

Jim: Is the lower horizontal bar on the R-15 intended for pannier mounting? An irritation that I have about the Nitto big back racks is the awkwardness of using the platform with panniers installed. I've seen other mfgs racks with a second set of bars a couple of inches below the platform.

[RBW] Re: An interesting match of the Nitto R-15 rear rack and Berthoud panniers

Marty, I'm with you on wondering how the new Riv low-rack will work with various panniers. Euro-Asia Imports has a Gilles Berthoud Diagonale bicycle shown with panniers that equip that bike, it's a nice combination: http://www.euroasiaimports.com/productcart/pc/Gilles-Berthoud-Diagonale-2191p1686

[RBW] Re: An interesting match of the Nitto R-15 rear rack and Berthoud panniers

Now I know why I shouldn't have sold my R15! That's a fantastic set-up Jim. I can imagine this with Rivs new low-rider rack and another pair of Berthoud's up front. I wonder how close the matching Sackville's will line up with the R15? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to
