Thanks, yes, a plumbing tube bender is helpful for getting the tubes bent symmetrically around the braze-on centerpulls. Not sure exactly how it would line up w/ cantis, but that seems likely. BTW, the Surly tubes are stiffer than the Nitto. I don't think you'd need a bender for the Nittos (ot

[RBW] Re: Hunq porteur options?

I have a Pass & Stow and it's great. Though I'm tempted to sell it for something more low profile. With a large Wald it can carry anything. The guy who runs it (& makes everything) is extraordinarily helpful, and gets very involved with questions of fit. On Thursday, July 7, 2016 at 12:24:46 PM

[RBW] Re: Hunq porteur options?

That's clever. I assume you bent the stays in order to clear the centerpull brakes? Presumably with cantis you could just keep the stays straight and cut them to length. Thanks for the idea! Jay Lonner Bellingham, WA On Wednesday, July 6, 2016 at 5:02:52 PM UTC-7, Thomas Bielavitz wrote: > > I u

Thanks, Garth. The Surly tubes are slightly larger, but the clamps were still capable of securely engaging the narrower Nitto diameter. Also, for the application as pictured a plumbing tube bender is helpful for getting the tubes bent symmetrically around the braze-on centerpulls. I happened t

Re: [RBW] Re: Hunq porteur options?

When I was going to use the P&S on my Bomba the plan was to use Tubus hardware. The mounts fit in the slots meant for the bracket and a custom bend for the stays to the fork crown. Hardware something like this: http://bit.ly/29Q1YNU Ended up with the rack on the Cheviot instead but the concept

[RBW] Re: Hunq porteur options?

Thomas, nice and great idea ! Those Surly kits seem very very versatile for any rack with round tubes. I have always wondered, is the diameter of the Surly rods the same as the Nitto ? . -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. T

Re: [RBW] Re: Hunq porteur options?

I'm not sure if that would be an option for the P&S. The included bracket to fork crown works significantly better than any other fork crown bracket I've ever used. That being said, it should be pretty easy to use Nitto rack attachments to attach to the top of crown mounts - I'm intending on try

Re: [RBW] Re: Hunq porteur options?

Pudge, does he offer to make the rack to attach to the two on top fork crown mounts instead of the single middle brake mount ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from

Re: [RBW] Re: Hunq porteur options?

I have the Pass & Stow on my Bombadil. It is a great rack, and Matt was willing to make mods to suit me (internal wire routing and light mounts on both sides). I love it. Sent from my iPhone On Jul 5, 2016, at 9:30 AM, Surlyprof mailto:jmcclu...@gmail.com>> wrote: I've been considering a por

IIRC, Clem uses the Hunqapillar fork. Also, the Hunqapillar (at least my first gen version) has mounting points on top of the fork crown. You can sorta see it in this pic: https://flic.kr/p/mtcPxp Rob of Ocean Air Cycles has some good mods on his blog on using those mounting points (which the R

I've been considering a porteur rack as well for my Hillborne. I was eyeing the Soma Porteur (http://www.somafab.com/archives/product/porteur-rack-stainless-steel) because it had the lower crossbars for panniers. After meeting the nice guy who runs Pass and Stow (Matt?) at NAHBS, I would prob

Check out the Pass & Stow racks, both the porteur and the new 3 rail rack. I own both. You can find photos of the new 3 rail rack the P&S Flickr gallery. Matt Feeney does excellent work and his racks come in different sizes to fit your Hunq. http://passstow.com/home John On Sunday, July 3,

[RBW] Re: Hunq porteur options?

Not sure how a Clem compares with a Hunq in terms of fork braze-ons for racks, but I have a Surly 8 pack running fine, though no doubt a bit higher than ideal. Also lots of bolts to check. And a bit fiddly to install, but that's not that unusual in rackworld, is it?...

Have you read the Surly install pdf for it ? http://surlybikes.com//uploads/downloads/24_8_Pack_Rack_Instructions_vf.pdf It specifically states : *This rack is not recommended for use with a fork that has a single mounting point in the fork crown.*I'm not sure what they mean by this as this
