I have always liked having the larger platform of the Platrack on my AHH, but disliked the long struts that stretch down to the fender mounts by the axle. I had removed the rack for the rando season a few months back, but have wanted to put it back on a few times. I have had an idea to do an alternate strut configuration rolling around in my head for the past few weeks, and tonight I got a chance to take action. After watching one of the riv videos on mounting a rear rack where they bend the struts with a couple of good hammer whacks, I was inspired. I bent and shortened the long struts to join at the mid fork braze-on where the other struts from the Mark's Rack join. It is likely "not quite" as strong, and I'm sure it's a warranty voider in Grant and Nitto's eyes, but I don't carry much more than 10 lbs on the front. In any case, it feels solid as a rock to me. YMMV... Brian Hanson Seattle, WA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
