Well, I think it depends. I have been terrifically satisfied with a Mark's Rack M1 on my caliper-braked Sam...easy setup, looks great, and versatile, should you want to run a small bag instead of a basket. Always worked great, never failed.
But I overload my basket on a regular basis and haul my crap on all manner of track and trail. To drive out all lingering thoughts of rack failure due to my camping gear, a burrito, and a 12-pack in the rack on the way to the camping spot, I upgraded to the Nitto Campee front rack...the one with integrated struts that go all the way to the lower dropout. Not that this rack could never fail, but I sure don't worry much about it! Plus the Campee has the removable frames for front panniers, which I thought I would use all the time, but in reality have never used, as all my kit fits into the (overloaded) basket and my Acorn seat bag. But for casual, every day use, hard to beat the M1... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
