Thanks Tom. I don’t think measuring is necessary.. And thanks to Craig for all the fantastic pictures!
I’m surprised the Rim website claims the 34F to be recommended for no more than 30# loads. I know they are being conservative, but still…If you look at t similar looking rack, like Surly’s big Front rack, it claims to hold 70# - which I’d not want to carry! One attribute the 34F has going for it, in my opinion, is the nice big platform on which to strap things. I really appreciate the ability to lash something to the top while still being able to carry bags down below. I think I remember that the tubing used for the 34F is 9mm thick? Did you have to shim the hooks on your panniers to make them snug? My panniers have hooks for either 8mm or 10mm rails. > On Feb 27, 2019, at 7:55 PM, Tom Horton <swanf...@gmail.com> wrote: > > John all i ever used were ortleibs panniers i have a set of smaller > ortleibs and larger ones > > Both mounted fine on the nitto front rack > > Not sure the triangles will get in yr way a pretty big rack be glad to > measure it if you want > > Sent from my iPhone > > On Feb 27, 2019, at 6:14 PM, John Bokman <jpbco...@gmail.com > <mailto:jpbco...@gmail.com>> wrote: > >> Tom, could you tell me what kind of panniers you used with this rack? >> Looking at the triangulation of the rack, I"m wondering if those added >> supports might prevent me from mounting my Lone Peak panniers.
