[RBW] Re: Best smallish rear rack for long chainstay models?
Doug; I tried using the large nitto big rack on my joe appaloosa and my clementine, but it felt like the stays were so long the rack was in another time zone. However, I think it was Joe Bernard who suggested trying the medium sized nitto big rack with the m6 eyelets. The smaller rack seems to fit much better with the long chainstays. I think it's about as good a fit as I could have hoped for. cheers, Sky in new west Friday, 29 March 2019 11:00:37 UTC-7, Doug Van Cleve wrote: > > Howdy folks. > > Despite the whole front basket thing, AFAIK GP has never really been pro > front loading.

If your rear saddle bag isn't going to hold too much weight, then maybe try rigging up the "peck deck" ala Ultraromance. Here's a link to pics+text of Matt's (of Crust) Nor'easter with the peck deck. https://bikepacking.com/bikes/matts-crust-nor-easter/ I think different sizes of long-wheelbase Riv's have different rack mount positions. Some with mid-seat stay mounts might work well with R14, Mark's rack, etc. Good luck! shoji On Thursday, May 30, 2019 at 1:01:58 PM UTC-4, phil k wrote: > > I liked the Nitto R14 rack.

I liked the Nitto R14 rack. Looks like Riv made their own version but it's sold out. I ziptied a sackville saddle bag for a bit to mine when I had it.

In order of stability, to my thinking... -marks rack attached to above brake mounts and mid seatstay mounts -nitto saddlebag support attached to seatpost and mid seatstay mounts -tumbleweed t rack -tubus fly or airy -nitto campee minus the removable low rider parts -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: Best smallish rear rack for long chainstay models?
Howdy folks, Kinda bumping this and rephrasing the question a bit. Are there any not-huge racks that mount up on the long chainstay RBW models without just using super long stays to the rack top(ie. sit closer to the seat tube and don't need the super long stays)? Most pictures I see manage to work on the long chainstay bikes by using really long supports from the rack top to the seatstay mounts, which seems sub-optimal to me for at least a couple reasons (looks, flexibility). I would think with the LONG rear end, heel clearance wouldn't be a big concern and a rack could sit further forward. If such a rack doesn't exist, I wonder if there will be one at some point?
