Blakcloud - I've seen that toe strap idea on Riv's site as well and think it's a good one. The Berthoud rack was kind of like a Nitto R-14 but for the front so when it was no longer attached to the fork crown it naturally was able to swing down/forward. I'll not use one like that again. Rigid/non-hinged support struts and a fork crown thru bolt that is integral to the rack are requirements as far as I'm concerned now. As for the single ring, I'm going 8 speed in the back, cheap chains and cassettes, easier friction shifting and I don't miss the extra gear. I didn't notice a problem w/ chain keeping once I went to the WI SS ring, it's not one of the newer 'wide-narrow' versions but I'll probably skip the chain keeper unless it becomes a problem.
