I've had a Mark's Rack P-clamped to my Bleriot for the last five years. I originally set it up with the single struts, but a couple of years ago began using 2 struts per side a la RBW.

I would recommend just basing yours on your Sam's braze-on location. This would allow the same rack (and cut struts) to be used on either bike. Don't stress it too much, though. > > I would probably have loads of 4 to 8 lbs. maximum. > I am probably over-thinking this? > I originally paired the rack with an Acorn Rando Bag, but long ago abandoned that setup for a small Wald basket and net. 4-8 lbs? no problemo. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
