I think he's referring to a post a few days ago. He has a nice set of
images, links and prices. I'll help him out with the link:

Sean referred to a Rene Herse UD-1 rack as "listed if anyone ... is
interested"
Does that mean it is offered for sale? Is it offered as-pictured, missing
all the hardware? What's your price?

I've a Rene Herse UD-1 rack listed if anyone searching for an adjustable
and lightweight rack with a 10 kg (22 lb) weight rating is interested.
It’s very nicely built and high quality w/adjustable struts that can fit
the same mounts as a 32f.

Hey Will thanks! That's exactly what I was after.
Re: the non published weight limits/tether advice, I wonder if it's because
of failures that happened? Either way I don't plan to put a ton of weight
on it. I think it'll be alright.

@ Zac: The 32F on my Quickbeam routinely exceeds the 4.4-lb load. I'd go
with Analog's 15-lb limit. As load increases, slow-speed steering
weirdness becomes the constraint long before one worries about rack
integrity. Using archive.org, I just took a peak at
Yeah, I always thought it goofy also to buy a tiny rack and then put a big
wire basket on top of it and expect it to be stable. Even if one does it
anyway, in "zac's" case with a shallow head tube frame, the 32f is poor
choice as it has no adjustability in any way to get it close-r to the head
this has been discussed many times before. in this age of litigation,
nitto has always been conservative with their weight ratings, but we're all
adults and have to make our own decisions. that said, and keep in mind
this comes from someone thats been running a nitto mini front for over 10
The pass and stow is nice but im going for something lighter that hopefully
sits closer to the headtube. having the load out in front of the axle like
that feels too sloppy for me. I think im gonna try the 32f with a beefy
strap and just not go too crazy on the load.

This is why I’ve just opted for the five rail rack from Pass & Stow: 25lbs
or less suggested, rated to 50lbs, and can handle 200lbs. I’ll *never* need
all that it can offer tbh.

This is why Riv got Nitto to make a Basket Rack. They kinda backed
themselves into a world of riders putting big loads in a big basket on a
little rack on the if-the-wheel-locks-up-things-get-ugly-fast end of the
bike and...you don't want that.

I've never used a rack that wasn't stronger than the M5 stainless steel
screws attaching it to the bike.
Years ago Riv said don't put baskets on this rack. With all sorts of wink
wink caveats and the advice to always put a strap around your rack/basket
to your handlebar.
>From memory, Nitto
I've been puzzled by Nitto's and consequently Rivendell's -- yes, absurdly
low -- weight limits for racks that are sold as the top in design and
quality and price. I see that the Riv product copy instructs users to use
the strap right after stating the 2 kg weight limit for this $160 rack. The
I've always thought the "weight limit" on that rack was absurdly low,
especially for such an expensive item. If you put a bag or basket on it,
there's half of the weight capacity taken up already. They just put that
very conservative rating on it so that you don't load it up with 25 lbs of
13 matches
