I have the *VO Pass Hunter Front Rack with Integrated Decaleur *and have it mounted on my 1988 Panasonic Schwinn Voyageur (cantilevers, fork crown hole) and I use the VO champagne front bag with it and it's 'integrated decaleur'. Here are my thoughts: 1 It barely fit on the studs and holes.

[RBW] Re: Confused by Nitto

I have had excellent success attaching my front fender to my Mark's Rack. The hardest part was figuring out which wine cork to use. I used a long-enough bolt on the outermost bolt on the slidey part, drilled a hole through a wine cork, and then a hole in the proper part of the front fender.

Oh, and Silver brakes. Mark's Rack is a wonderful thing. On Sunday, September 20, 2015 at 4:32:26 AM UTC-7, Michael Hechmer wrote: > > Nitto seems to be intent on confusing people and making it hard to get > info on their product line. A recent post noted that "campee" was a line > of racks,

[RBW] Re: Confused by Nitto

Thanks for the clue about the width. The rack hold a large Bertoud bag. I see that the M18 has only one mounting point for the strut, but for a front bag that really is all you need. Canti racks require an available drilled fork crown and often attach to the brakes, so those, like the M12

[RBW] Re: Confused by Nitto

Michael, The Nitto M18 Ben's offers is not the same as the M1 . It does not have the second set of struts for mounting. Here is the Nitto M14 http://sprockets.uk.com/nitto-m14-rear-bicycle-luggage-rack/ It differs from the Riv R14 in that it(M14) has extra hoop for bag support .

[RBW] Re: Confused by Nitto

Fortunately Nitto offers redundancy for the small front racks all using the same size platform . The M12 appears best for a specific purpose/fit, while the others are more much flexible in where to mount and at what angle . The M1 rack is the most versatile of all , as for example, with my

[RBW] Re: Confused by Nitto

Nitto has a model number for everything. Campee is the name of a line of heavy duty racks. The confusion lies with Ben's listing, rather than Nitto's model designation. Nitto makes an M-12 and an M-13, which are the same front racks with different clearance. The latter is tough to find,

[RBW] Re: Confused by Nitto

M12 and M13 are canti mounted racks, but are slightly different designs. The M13 has 2 versions based on clearance (https://www.compasscycle.com/shop/racks/compass-m-13-front-rack-cantilever-brakes/). Nitto added 2 more similar racks, NF-21 & NF-22, for 26" & 27" wheels respectively

Side pull bike front racks: Marks Rack- double adjustable strut tabs, light mount tab in front. 4.4lb. Weight limit with one strut setup. ~6lbs. with two strut setup as told by RBW employee. No fender mount point. Strut tab mount to brake bolt direct requires no bending. M18- one adjustable

[RBW] Re: Confused by Nitto

Well thank you Bill, and BTW, I will be in ElCerrito 10/21 - 11/6. I'm looking for a new rack for my Ram, which has 700 x 29 Compass tires. The bike already has a Bertoud decaleur so I'm not looking for the "integrated" ones, which don't work with bags taller than 22 cm anyway. I have VO

Re: [RBW] Re: Confused by Nitto

Michael: I've long had the VO Randonneur front rack on my 60cm Ram (attached with p-clamps), as well as the VO Constructeur on the rear. I've always run Giles Berthoud SS fenders under them, attached at the racks' fender mounts. Functionally, I've never had a problem with the racks. The

If that's the official Nitto page, I rest my case. Not much info and not even a full product line. Looks like it was last updated in 2004! Michael On Sunday, September 20, 2015 at 10:42:09 AM UTC-4, Lungimsam wrote: > > Also see NITTOs own rack page for details: >

[RBW] Re: Confused by Nitto

Michael It definitely can be frustrating if you long for a single webpage with all possible rack options. I agree with your that it seems logical that somebody would dedicate a webpage to all possible Nitto offerings. I haven't found one either. American retailers all stock the subset that
