[RBW] Re: HAR compatability with Ortlieb Sport Roller classic?

I have the "Front" Roller classic - different name, same pannier - mounted on a HAR with the QL2.1 mount. That fits pretty well with 650b wheels and Tektro 720 cantilevers brakes. --Ed On Monday, May 8, 2017 at 7:48:51 PM UTC-7, zybariver wrote: > > I searched the archives but didn't get a defi

Thanks, John. Swifts are adjustable if one chooses the Arkel hardware option, which I have. The pertinent measurements would be the available horizontal tube between the rearward vertical tube of the rack and the fork blade, and the available horizontal tube in front of the fork. Any chance you

HAR fits on my 60cm single, below eyeletted Saluki. It's sloping down a bit but fits some cheapy Racktime Tour panniers no problemo, even with Paul Neoretro brake arms sticking way out. Had to get some assorted different to make the deal work. -- You received this message because you are s

Q/R lever direction: In the old days there were two ways for the rear 1. Horizontal forward 2. Bisecting the seat and chainstays and two for the front: 1. Horizontal rear 2. Parallel with fork blade, more or less. In time trials people made them parallel. The safety argument for rearward front

Hi Mike, Mounted mine on Sam Hilborne today. I can place a ruler across the top horizontal bar and post a photo if that would help you. My olive bags arrive Tuesday. I can shutterbug that as well. I was somewhat bemused that the right rack came in a bag package boldly labeled "LEFT" and the

Can someone tell me the width of the top where a pannier would attach? And also where the bracket that attaches to the mid fork mount in that length? Want to see if they will fit my current panniers. Thanks! ~mike Carlsbad Ca. On Thursday, July 3, 2014 11:32:33 AM UTC-7, Peter M wrote: > >

[RBW] Re: HAR!!

Thank you Bill, I came to the same conclusion, but not being an engineer, I thought I must have figured something wrong. I'll bet there's a typo or mistranslation in there somewhere between the Japanese and English versions of the instructions. I think I'll be going with a longer M5 bolt, lock

[RBW] Re: HAR!!

40-60kgfcm equates to approximately 4-6N-m which is pretty tight for an M5. 88-132lbf is not a torque unit. There's no length in it. 88 is just 40*2.2 and 132 is 60*2.2, so somebody converted kilogram force to pound force, but that's the right conversion only if you want your torque units

[RBW] Re: HAR!!

"He said he found the M5 bolts had started to back out on him after a S24o with about 2-3lbs carried in each bag." Whenever there's space, I use a long enough bolt to go all the way thru with enough length for a nut, and use nylok nuts. I've toured with plenty of weighty bags for a long time &

[RBW] Re: HAR!!

I received mine this morning. It's a beautiful rack (pair of racks?). The torque specifications for the M5 bolts have me puzzled though. I don't understand the kgfcm/lbfft even after converting to Nm's. If anyone can explain this to me I would greatly appreciate it: *Bolt Torque Specifications

Done. Ordered. Hove to wait to August for olive bags, though. I have wanted these since hearing of them and being on an S24O with way too much too high up in the front. ~Tom On Thursday, July 3, 2014 11:32:33 AM UTC-7, Peter M wrote: > > http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/rmf2.htm > -- You r

[RBW] Re: HAR!!

Lone Peak clips are really well made. I prefer them to any of the over-complicated ones on Arkel/Ortlieb/etc. BTW they moved to Washington state a few years ago. The two tabs can also be attached to a Nitto Mini with a strut for more support. No hoop required! ~mike On Thursday, July 3, 2014

[RBW] Re: HAR!!

On second look, it appears one will have to open the bag to remove it. I've retrofitted a few bags with simple plastic clips from Lone Peak in Utah. Seems like decent plastic but I still keep spares handy. The pocket at the bottom is a tidy solution. They really thought about these bags an

Re: [RBW] Re: HAR!!

Yeah they are sure are pretty and I don't need them either. The bike I tour with on the mainland isn't a Riv and already has lowriders up front. Locally I don't need to carry a lot for camping so they'd be overkill. Ordered a set anyway. Darn it. :-) Aloha, Bob On Thu, Jul 3, 2014 at 10:54 AM,

Been saving up for these, and ordered my set. They'll come in handy with the Burley Piccolo trail-a-bike, which doesn't work with my saddlesack when kid hauling. I thought there was going to-be a hoop? (IIRC, a Blug post on it a prototype being ugly, but then it was not necessary... but perhap

[RBW] Re: HAR!!

Very classy. The bags look well thought out, especially the rack attachment. The pocket idea is clever, and being able to use any old strap for the top gets away from proprietary clips. dougP On Thursday, July 3, 2014 11:32:33 AM UTC-7, Peter M wrote: > > http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/rm
