[RBW] Re: Nitto R-10
Ty! And thanks for the tips on SQR, although hopefully this is the last installation. I've tried to find anything at all on what those posts are for to no avail, but I'm sure you're right, they're anchors.

Hey Peter, I can't help with the choosing part, but if you go the the 10 then I have one looking for a home.

Ever thought of using nitto's r-14 is always a good rack to leave on forever for a saddle bag. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

I have used a Marks rack on my 52 Bombadil with cr-720s. Worked great. No trouble with the brakes. As Liesl points out it very flexible and versatile, up down, for aft, tilt, whatever.

I've ridden with a marks rack since 2006 with, most often, a Carradice Barley. Most excellent combination. Goes back and forth between my saluki and my protobleriot. I have small (50 cm) bikes so clearance for a saddle bag is always in the equation. the marks rack is 1) easy to move from bike to bike, 2) stable as all get-out, 3) keeps bags from rubbing on fenders, 4) keeps saddle bags clear of cables, 5) is totally adjustable so you can dial in fore-and-aft and height, and 6) is so small you can just forget about it if you're not carrying a saddlebag. I have no experience, though, with the R-10. good luck, liesl -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
