If there is anyone who would really like to trade up to the new version, I would be happy to buy a used one. Michael On Wednesday, November 26, 2014 3:04:40 PM UTC-5, John Phillips wrote: Mark at Riv confirmed that there will be no hoop for the older HAR's, but he didn't think it would be

I tried to buy the HAR last summer and missed out by a day and have ben waiting for them to come back in stock. However, with the added hoop I wonder if the rack will fit with a Mark's Mini or a small Nitto? I don't want to give up that rack, I just want something that will go on and off the

One more thing. I was planning on using this rack with my small Arkel front panniers. It looks like they should fit. Does anyone know otherwise? Michael On Wednesday, November 26, 2014 6:26:45 AM UTC-5, Michael Hechmer wrote: I tried to buy the HAR last summer and missed out by a day and

Hi Michael, I'm pretty sure that the hoop will not interfere with the Nitto Mini or Mark's rack. Here's a look at the HAR v1 and Nitto Mini. I'm guessing that the only difference with HAR v2 is the hoop tab-- if that's the case, this pic shows that HAR won't interfere with the front rack.

Mark at Riv confirmed that there will be no hoop for the older HAR's, but he didn't think it would be necessary. How much weight are you people loading into your HAR's? Someone told me theirs had started to work it's way loose while holding only a down sleeping bag. Maybe lots of Locktite on

Hi John I own a non-hoop HA Rack like you and I heard what you heard, that they planned to offer a retrofit hoop. The only extra detail that I know is that this design was driven by Mark. I bet the smartest info will come from him. Email mark at rivbike dot com and I'm sure he'll let you

I've got ver1 HAR+HUB. They've stayed on my Hunqapillar since I got them in July(?). I use them for grocery hauling, and holding picnic stuff and toys when I'm riding with kids. Solid w/o hoop. I'll let my inner weight weenie take pride in knowing that I'm saving a few unnecessary grams,

I scrubbed off the mushrooms just because I didn't want them poking through the little pocket of the HAR pannier. But I lighter is lighter! On Tuesday, November 25, 2014 9:59:45 AM UTC-8, Shoji Takahashi wrote: I've got ver1 HAR+HUB. They've stayed on my Hunqapillar since I got them in

I just received an email from Meisha at Riv that there is no option of purchasing a hoop for the early version of the HAR. :( So it looks like I'll be weight weenie, like you guys. :) Bummer, if I had wanted to be a weight weenie, I wouldn't have bought a Hunqapillar! ;) Thanks!!! John --

Bill: When you say you scrubbed them off, exactly what did you do? I've considered modifying a Nitto rack but was leery of damaging the beautiful plating having to deal with protecting bare metal. dougP On Tuesday, November 25, 2014 10:22:35 AM UTC-8, Bill Lindsay wrote: I scrubbed off
