[RBW] Re: front rack recommendations

Hi Scott, yes though its technically the Nitto NR-21 (exactly the same except I think 21 is meant for cantilever brake setups). And yes, Ultraswift bag size small. It's quite stable as a saddle bag and perfect for grocery runs because the rolltop expands so much. -- You received this message b

[RBW] Re: front rack recommendations

Bin Great bike is that a Nitto NR-20 supporting what looks like a Swift/Ultraromance bag? Is it the Large or Small bag? It looks like its far enough back to not hit your legs and helps with wobble while still being low profile? Scott. On Friday, February 3, 2017 at 5:02:10 PM UTC-8, Bin Chen wr

the simworks Potluck rack will not clear 700x50. I just picked up a Nitto F25 rack off Bikemania.biz . it's legit!! On Wednesday, October 19, 2016 at 9:11:48 AM UTC-7, drew wrote: > > im finding myself overloading my nitto m-18+basket regularly, and it is > wiggling and bending more than i appro

I don't think it's available in silver, but the Bruce Gordon Mountain rack probably meets all your other criteria. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an e

John, What bike do you have that porteur rack installed on? I'm asking as that rack weighs 2.6 lbs. Dan On Wednesday, October 19, 2016 at 2:07:40 PM UTC-4, Surlyprof wrote: > > Drew, > > I had been eyeing this one by SOMA. > http://www.somafab.com/archives/product/porteur-rack-stainless-steel

Re: [RBW] Re: front rack recommendations

I considered the Nitto / Sim-Works Potluck myself. It's gorgeous looking! But do note, it is only rated to carry 15lbs. A 6 pack of beer in glass bottles weighs about 9lbs. Sometimes I even carry two of 'em, and some other groceries. So I decided to go with the aformentioned Nitto 27F, which claim

Re: [RBW] Re: front rack recommendations

The Simworks rack typically won't clear 700x50 tires, unless your eyelet mount is very high above the axle. I posted some photos with dimensions about a month ago on another thread. On Thu, Oct 20, 2016 at 12:13 AM, Patch T wrote: > I'm in the same boat. Not a bad one to be in, but sure, can be

I'm in the same boat. Not a bad one to be in, but sure, can be improved. Been thinking about the Simworks Potluck Rack http://sim-works.com/en/nitto/potluck-rack On Wednesday, October 19, 2016 at 9:11:48 AM UTC-7, drew wrote: > > im finding myself overloading my nitto m-18+basket regularly, an

Re: [RBW] Re: front rack recommendations

Rene I've never tried that, but remember that the M18 is significantly different from a Marks rack. I don't think there's enough attach points on an M18 to take a platrack well. The Marks rack has four strut eyelets and the M18 only has two. The marks rack facilitates bolting the platrack to

Re: [RBW] Re: front rack recommendations

I have an excellent condition Platrack with bag, that you can use on top of your Nitto M18 for just the reasons you outline. It has long stays that support it from the fork eyelets at the tip (where the hub attaches). I no longer use it, but can sell it cheap. There are many options, as you state,

[RBW] Re: front rack recommendations

I like the Nitto 27F, but I expect you might disqualify that because the platform is too narrow. I like Haulin' Colin's racks, but they don't mount down at the fork tips as you require. On Wednesday, October 19, 2016 at 9:11:48 AM UTC-7, drew wrote: > > im finding myself overloading my nitto

[RBW] Re: front rack recommendations

Drew, I had been eyeing this one by SOMA. http://www.somafab.com/archives/product/porteur-rack-stainless-steel I liked the fact that it was stainless and had crossbars for panniers. Matt at Pass and Stow here in the bay area makes great racks, too. (http://passstow.com/) Really helpful guy
