5 years on this setup with an M18 and no worries <http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v728/bulldog1935/Raleigh/700c/aaaP5280021.jpg> diving board to brake bolt, long stays to dropout bosses, Berthoud decaleur, fender mount to diving board bolt
<http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v728/bulldog1935/Raleigh/700c/aaPA110001.jpg> Half a year and a couple of thousand miles on this, Marks rack without diving board, Nitto rod bolts to Tubus LM-1 clamps on fork crown and to canti bolts <http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v728/bulldog1935/Raleigh/Viner/5e3bc54c-a98d-448e-8214-cd00d5c82c21.jpg> No issues with this - and it's absolutely rock solid, but it doesn't carry near the load of the rando bag above. I only use this one for a small trunk to stuff layers and weather shells. Nothing (except the steel diving board) is bend in either setup, and every component is naturally relaxed if the bolts were loosened. Someone has described the Nitto rod bolts as "friction", but they're a lot more secure than that, they are a swage of the aluminum rod into steel. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
