The Axiom racks support light mounting as well. Though you want something narrow--a standard B&M wide won't fit well. I have my taillight on my fender and mount a circular reflector on the rack's light panel. On Wednesday, June 3, 2015 at 1:02:08 PM UTC-4, Lynne Fitz wrote: > > one reason I we

one reason I went for the Racktime from my venerable Jim Blackburn was just that - the mount for a rear light. Here is the rack on the Bleriot, when it was just back from repair and freshly reassembled: https://www.flickr.com/photos/lynnefitz/9083008666/in/photolist-htztpE-eQrpxR-eQrpXa-eQCN2G-

+1 on Racktime Addit... Features a recessed (protected) spot for a rear dyno light... Nice value. Favorite is still the Nitto Big Rack... spendy but oh so nice. On Tuesday, June 2, 2015 at 1:39:47 PM UTC-4, drew wrote: > > +1 on racktime. they make nice quality stuff at an acceptable pricepoint.

Thanks so much for all the replies. • I wouldn't have considered the Axiom due to the chain stay issue (Andrew, mine are even 2cm longer than on the Rando), but I like the workaround. I like the slim look of this rack for daily 1-bag use. • Good to hear the feedback on the Tubus Evo & the Nit

I've equipped 4 of our bikes with Tubus Logo Evo's. I cannot say enough good things about the rack. Four things worth knowing: 1) it is extremely well made and substantial without being heavy 2) it fits Ortlieb bags perfectly since the bags and the racks are co-engineered. 3) it has a high and l

+1 on racktime. they make nice quality stuff at an acceptable pricepoint. the clem rack is OK, but racktime is a much better value i would also say that the nitto big back rack is actually not that much heavier than most other racks, but adequately heavy duty. i leave one on my bike all the tim
