[RBW] rear racks for long chainstays

I have a pletscher clem rack coming too, for my large clem bike. My intention is to modify the mounting by eliminating the plate at the bottom of the struts. If it works, it should alter the triangulation and shift the platform forward and more centered over the rear wheel. Success should

I have a Tubus Logo Evo on my Cheviot. I really like the lower pannier rails. I have actually ordered one to replace the custom rack that I have always hated on my Retrovelo. On Friday, November 27, 2015 at 8:40:28 AM UTC-8, Patrick D Kelly wrote: > > I've pre-ordered a Joe Appaloosa and am

[RBW] rear racks for long chainstays

Brown mystery bike with pretty long chainstays, and a large Saddlesack. The large Nitto Big Rear Rack from my 60cm Hillborne didn't work because the front of the rack pushed up into the center of the large Saddlesack, even with setback of a Nitto quick-release handle. Rack was too far back from

I know that Jandd is nowhere near as "sexy" as Nitto or Tubus, but I had an Expedition rear rack on my (what now can be called) moderately length'd chainstay Long Haul Trucker for years. It worked well. The length of the rack is 16.75 inches, 3 inches longer than their standard rack.

[RBW] Re: rear racks for long chainstays

Having gone through many racks and bags I have come to the conclusion that there is no one perfect combination; it depends as much on what you are carrying. Given a choice I like to carry loads up to 15 lbs or so above the fenders. If you live in the desert that may not be a big deal but here

Re: [RBW] Re: rear racks for long chainstays

The Logo Evo looks good to me for a couple reasons. I like the lower rail to hang panniers. Also I like that there is no guard rail at the front. This would make it better if I were to put a saddle bag on the bike. On a slight tangent, I wonder about custom racks. I really doubt I would do it,

Re: [RBW] Re: rear racks for long chainstays

When I was discussing with Rivendell whether to go with a 52 or 59, Keven mentioned the 700C Clem's wheelbase was only 6" shorter than the shop Big Dummy. Now I'm a bit concerned that my Piccolo Moose rack won't play nice with the 52 Clementine coming Monday, especially since one of my main
