in Jacob's excellent picture, it looks like the front wheel is held down at
just about the area my Tubus Tara front rack's hoop is located. I'm
wondering if I were to adjust the holder further in front of the wheel:
Would this compromise security? Otherwise, I might be able to place the
holder
Thanks for setting this up John!

Thanks for the recommendation Paul. I'm wondering if the front arm can be
rotated forward a bit? My fenders are longer in front than the ones shone
on the Ebike.

What about ease of installation? Are these 1UPS user-friendly in that
regard? I am interested in the 1UP for all the reasons already mentioned,
but also, because sometimes I'd have one bike, and sometimes I'd have to
carry my wife's bike, and 2 kids' bikes, also. Nice to have the option of
the
King of Mercia?
Tubing specs by chance? 753? 853?
Looks like standard diameter tubing?

I'm wondering if anyone has successfully shifted a 12-36 shimano 9-speed
cassette with an Altus RD?
I currently have an altus, and like it well enough, but am using a 44x30,
11-32 8 speed.
The new setup would be a triple up front (48-34-24), and a 12-36.
According to Shimano, th
Free is a good price. However, Randi Jo for the win! I have used her covers
for years here in the PNW on different types of saddles. She makes
different covers for different saddle shapes. I leave mine all year round.
They last a very long time. Well worth the money.
