Related to this topic: I just went to check inventory on rivbike.com for the basket rack. The way you 'check inventory' is try to add 100 of them to your cart, and the site will tell you how many you can add. I tried to add 100 and it said I can only add 1. Last one! Who's going to get it?

related questions I hope. Do the platform mounting points align with that of a marks rack? Meaning could I use a Marks rack platform. Without the little leg extenders from the dropout mounting point, is the rack definitely too short? I know this will vary for wheel size, but generally, are the

Thanks, Justin. I really appreciate the quick review and photos. One of the things I really like about the Basket Rack is that you can bring the basket closer or further from the crown while keeping it level, unlike my old Large Front Rack, which put the center of the basket in front of the hub

Has anyone successfully installed a basket rack on an older Toyo Atlantis? Mine is a 61 with 700c wheels and I don't see how to make it fit. I thought it would make a fun weekend project, but I'm stuck. There's a notch that limits the angle of the support extension, see photo. I tried longer on

Rotate the qr so it’s not over the mounting bolt, get a longer bolt and a spacer so the rack mount stay can clear the fork blade. -- 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

I have a toyo 61cm atlantis w the basket rack installed. I felt pretty good about it until i read Bill’s post (now self doubt begins to stir). I remember a brief hiccup in the setupbut it seemed to smooth out easily enough. Pic of setup from a distance here: https://www.instagram.com/p/B9UNr5l

Thanks everyone, I'll follow Bill's lead and probably save the rack to an upcoming Susie build. Ted, the problem isn't the QR, it's the notch in the fork and the location of the boss. Sky, I tried your link, but it seems your account is private. Max On Sunday, March 15, 2020 at 3:57:16 PM UT

Sorry about the link. And I just looked at my dropout. has dual eyelets and I'm using the top ones so my setup does not mirror yours. It does make me wonder about the origin of my bike. Dual eyelets, on front dropout but no rack eyelets on fork. On Sunday, 15 March 2020 13:51:11 UTC-7, maxc

using a spacer (riv sells nice ones though they are currently out of stock) and a longer bolt allows the rack strut to clear the fork blade without needing to go flush along the fork end (aka drop out) between the qr axel and the end of the fork blade. We’re you to do that you would likely find

More and more clear that Bill is right - you need the top bosses to properly mount this rack. Gorgeous setup :) -- 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 it, send an email

The rack I would recommend vigorously for fork tips of that kind is the Nitto 27F. Here's a link from Alex's: https://alexscycle.com/collections/racks/products/nitto-front-campee-cross-27-for-700c-1 The ends are all steel. They dogleg to find the under-the-fork-tip boss, and have an integrate

Actually, it looks like they have a restock right now. As of this morning, there were 8 available. But yeah, i'm sure this rack will be around for a long time so take your time deciding. On Thu, Dec 12, 2019 at 11:16 AM Isaac Enloe wrote: > Thanks, Justin. I really appreciate the quick review an
