I've had a heavily loaded, but not overloaded, front rack fail on me once, albeit not a Nitto and it was partially mounted to the eyelets at the fork. It basically pivoted around the hub and caught the front wheel on the downswing, jammed the wheel, and almost sent me over the handlebars (luckily I was going relatively slow). The bolts (I theorize) got loosened over time and after countless hours rough descents.
Lesson: Check those rack bolts often and have a backup in the form of the manny strap (at least until Riv solves all of our basketed-rack-woes) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
