IME with 5 Rivendells — Ram, 3 custom roads, and a first edition Sam — at least these Rivs prefer rear loads to front loads.
IME again, you can add up to, say 6-7 lb total including bag to the front in a well-attached bar bag without unduly hurting steering, but more than that does degrade handling. Again, IME, and IMO and as to my tastes for handling. OTOH, my Rivs did handle considerable weights in the back, on stiff — Tubus and custom — rear racks pretty well, as well as in unsupported saddlebags strapped *really* tightly directly to the rails of my Flites. As always, YMMAWV. On Sun, Jul 20, 2025 at 2:52 PM Luke Volkmann <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > I'm curious to get the opinions of those who have carried front weight on > their Rambouillet.
