The basket rack has a wider platform and much better supports the basket, and honestly almost all loads that people throw up front. The 32F is awesome for loaded touring but I think it's overkill for most riding, and looks a bit bulky. I think Riv nailed the design for the basketrack. -- You r

For riding with heavier front loads, the Nitto 34F Big Front Rack still seems like a better basket-rack solution to me: stronger, more stable, able to carry panniers & about the same price I think. Ooops, Riv no longer carries the Big Front Rack, but that's where I purchased mine. Doe

No, I think it's weird that Nitto didn't provide Rivendell with the spec. Which I clearly stated. -- 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 to rbw-owner

Joe thinks it’s weird that Rivendell sold at least one rack prior to Nitto giving them a load limit recommendation. I feel pretty good about Roman’s 20 Pound swag at it. BL in EC -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubs

I don't have a want for the rack, I'm not much for front loads and not likely to buy it. I just think it's weird Nitto is selling a rack and never bothered to tell anyone what its load limits are. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch"

You get to expect whatever you want to expect, Joe. What Nitto-recommended load rating do you want out of this rack? On Thursday, August 15, 2019 at 3:48:44 PM UTC-7, Joe Bernard wrote: > > Ok, call me crazy (YOU'RE CRAZY, JOE!), but after all the months of > prototyping and now it's an actual

Ok, call me crazy (YOU'RE CRAZY, JOE!), but after all the months of prototyping and now it's an actual product on a website, shouldn't Nitto have a recommended weight limit by now? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubs

Well, regardless, I do really want to hear from folks who bought and are using the new basket racks. And I would love to see photos of their bikes with the rack. Maybe they’ll change my mind and I’ll buy the basket rack. I just would like to know that rack is a big improvement to what I’ve got.

I feel like we saw a prototype of these legs on a marks rack top. I’d be interested to hear if the top platform is interchangeable. If, so it’d be cool if they sold them separately, so people could retrofit their older racks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Goo

I'm fine with the $250 price tag, especially considering the other Nitto racks sell for $175-$220 on the site. Beautiful and thoughtful bends, light mounts, adjustability, matching finish, fillet brazed, Nitto quality. This a Rivendell design, you pay for that too. -- You received this message

I think you answered your own question. The Basket Rack is purpose built for a Wald 139 basket. If that's your use case, it seems to me that's a really nice rack to consider buying. If your use case requires a versatile swiss-army knife rack, then there may be better choices. Having more c

Leah, I thought the same. It's just a much nicer looking 24 pack rack and the price to reflect that difference. I'll stick w/ my Surly 8 Pack rack and the TV Tray for those wide loads. CHEERS! Wally On Thursday, August 15, 2019 at 12:40:45 AM UTC-4, Bicycle Belle Ding Ding! wrote: > > It’s
