Not a commuted per se...I like panniers for off road adventures and a bit
of single track from time to time and low riders don't work for me. Low
hanging fruit sort of thing. The bottom of my panniers rub against rocks
and low shrub. For the time being I'm using the heavy weight Surly nice
There was some talk about the Hub Area Rack a while back -- quite a while
ago. I'm curious to see if it is, effectively, a low-rider that mounts to
the mid-fork hourglass eyelets on many of the recent frames. Also, I'm
wondering if it will work with the typical small, front pannier like
I'm sorry I can't read this through the giant scaffolding bolted to my fork

Wasn't there something about them needing a design tweak after Rivendell go
the first few prototypes? This project has been taking some time. I just
hope Nitto doesn't get carried away with fittings, reinforcing bits, etc.,
as they have done before.

Not to harp on this one but if y'all are itching for this so bad, you can
always have a custom rack made. :)

I want a paper-grocery-sized bag like that! Big enough to drop a full paper
sack right down into it with no hassles from drawstrings, neck collars,
zippers, or cinch straps, and leave enough room to fold the top over it.

The delay is our, not NItto's
Nitto has tested the rack against competitive std low-riders and found it
to be more rigid, perfectly up to the tast. We (me/Grant/and others here at
RBW) are being uncharacteristically more conservative than NITTO, by which

My post isn't about the yet-to-be-released Rivendell/Nitto HAR, but about
front low-rider racks in general. This is essentially a PSA.
Now, I know that having a single-sided pannier isn't what the cool kids do;
but I like my single Ortlieb Office Bag for general commuting (laptop,

Thanks for the update Grant.
One thing I liked about this rack, beside the aesthetics of the shape, is
that one could attach some struts to the forward holes and to the forward
holes on a NItto mini Campee rack. This would add to the stiffness for
those who use a top rack. For those who want
yeah... at probably twice the price. And lacking the testing/design
validation that Nitto/Riv does. But if we need a rack to deliver XL pizzas
we know where to go ;-p

All due respect, IMHO the hoop thing is way over rated. I've been using
the Tubus Duo for years on my Atlantis, not paying much attention to how
much I stuff the bags or balancing the load beyond a quick heft in each
hand. Absolutely no issues with the load moving around. I've done weekend
Doug, the best design is to make the hoop a third piece that bolts to the
front mounts on the rack and can be disassembled for travel. Probably best
if the hoops extend down and attach to the dropout as well.
