I have a Nitto Mark's Rack and Tubus Tara combo setup on a 26" MTB- tourer... the Nitto for a small bag, and the Tubus for panniers... works nicely. I also have a Jandd Extreme front rack for another 26" MTB-tourer, which I also REALLY like. That said, my first choice (if cost wasn't a factor) wo

You could certainly go custom and keep the mini around. From what I understand, a regular low rider rack will sit at quite a jaunty angle on a Riv fork. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To view this discussion on the web vi

I used the nitto mini front and wald basket, with a Tubus Tara lowrider on a 6K tour once.I would use the exact same setup if I did it again. The mini-front with wald basket and bungee is incredibly robust, flexible, and handy. Of course the Tubus low rider's reputation speaks for itse

Does anybody know if the Nitto Big front rack fits the Atlantis without the use of P-clamps; does it just bolt right up to the braze on? On Tuesday, April 17, 2012 9:34:19 PM UTC-5, Darin G. wrote: > My Atlantis is built up and riding (gratuitous plug for Saturday Cycles in > SLC). An awes

I don't have an Atlantis...yet. I am trying to decide between the Atlantis, the Hunqapillar or maybe even a Bombadil for loaded touring and as a camp/trail bike to compliment my Sam Hillborne (more roadish setup). I am on the small side, so it would be 26" wheels on the Hunq or Atlantis or 65

I have the new Atlantis with the top-crown connection. I'm not looking at a large front rack to hold a lot of stuff on top, basically just the Berthoud bag that I have on the mini-front in lieu of a handlebar bag. The rest of the load would be in the small front pannier's. I'm thinking the B

Darin, I have this combo on my hill borne, it works well, the only thing to keep in mind that both racks add nearly 5lbs to the bike, so make sure you need the carrying capacity in the front. My front is mounted using the bosses but it makes access to the front brakes very difficult. When I ge
