Hi Corwin! Yes, I had a different rack on the Betty, but my point was that I used to have a front rack and it must not have bothered me, so what’s different about the basket rack? I do think the basket rack causes the bars to swing more. I’ve decided to put it on the purple bike for now, and if I
Hi Leah -
Sorry to be late to the party. I did get the Nitto 52f Basket Rack. In
fact, I bought two. One is mounted on my Hubbuhubbuh. I have a Wald Racer
basket zip tied to the rack. The other is mounted on the Cunningham
Hubbuhubbuh. I really love the rack. It swallows massive loads without
Maybe it will lessen your dyno wiring worries but depending on the light
you're running it's really easy to DIY a solution. The Busch and Muller
wires are just like speaker wires and you can splice them together with
very little effort. The wiring and connectors are available from a few
spots l

back on :).
For steer-stopping, I keep a longer velcro strap connected

Yeah, but surely this isn't going to solve the problem of the front wheel
flopping? Seems like the Steerstopper does solve a legitimate problem. I
have no doubt that there are others (maybe less expensive). but how is a
rubber band around a brake lever going to stop the wheel from flopping when
Hi Leah,
Your Platypus is going to be amazing. I advocate that you get the Velo
Orange steering damper.
However, to install it you are going to need to reroute your cables on the
downtube. Here's what you need for that, which allows you to run full
length outer housing. I have these for my rea

You asked: " Maybe the 650b wheels will be less floppy with this rack?
Maybe the smaller, lighter bike won’t seem as penalized by the heft of this
rack?"
The 650B wheel have a minimal effect on Wheel Flop, since the wider tire
results in a tire radius close to a 700C x 32 tire (650x48 ra
