Re: [RBW] Re: rear rack mounting question

I don't know your specific load carrying needs, but you could ditch the rack and just use a saddlebag. Some Carradices and the RBW bags are huge. I stopped using a rear rack when I got my Carradice bag, which was bigger than any rack mounted bag I could find, so I didn't need a rack anymore. -

Peter, If you're looking for better flat protection w/Hetres, try squirting an ounce or two of Stan's sealant into your tubes. You'll need tubes that have removable valve cores (like Q-tubes). I used to patch a flat after even the shortest jaunt around town, but since Patrick Moore showed me
