I don't have a picture, but I have a Nitto Campee front rack, which came with the same attachment for cantis. I originally mounted it on the tandem with a longer set of stays going to mid fork braise ons. This spring we repainted the bike and switched from CP to cantis so I don't have a

Can anyone give max tire size for 700c tires? One person reported it wouldn't fit over 700x35 on their fork. I'd be using it on a rosco/sam fork. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop

The threaded front pannier rail bolt seems like a good place to attach a dynamo light. That's my plan, anyway. Not sure about the sizing of the top platform - custom bag required? Basket? We'll see... /Jeremy On Saturday, June 25, 2016 at 4:52:27 AM UTC-7, drew wrote: > > I saw this rack in a

I saw this rack in a shop in Japan today. I'm not sure where a bottom pannier hook attaches and I'm not sure I like the chrome. The horizontal pannier rail parts are threaded at the ends, which seems useful in some way. Seems like a nice middle ground rack between a mini and a big front --

It should work. It will sit a tad hi and you will need a different pair of struts. It will make getting your hand or tool into the brake for adjustments a bit awkward. Michael On Thursday, June 23, 2016 at 10:44:10 AM UTC-4, Zach Duval wrote: > > Though made for canti attachment, is there any

it should work. Though, I think those might be made for 700 wheels, just judging by pictures on the internet. So it might sit a bit high. On Thursday, June 23, 2016 at 10:44:10 AM UTC-4, Zach Duval wrote: > > Though made for canti attachment, is there any reason this would not be > advisable
