Khalid: I've been touring with my Atlantis since 03 & have loaded it in a variety of ways. For me, weight in the front is helpful. All the weight in the back didn't work. Splitting the load into 4 bags & using front low riders is stable. After trying different things over the years, I prefer about 60% in the front, 40% rear for the maxxed out camping load. For a lodging tour, I just use front low riders. I always have an Acorn Boxy Rando bag on & it holds a lot of stuff by itself.
Get good stiff racks, Nitto, Tubus, Bruce Gordon, etc. Cheap racks will drive you crazy with 20 lbs of weight on them. Experiment with your own load on your bike to see what works for you. IMHO it's as much about your riding style as where the load is placed. Among my touring buds, some prefer front, some prefer rear, some don't care. It's quite individual. dougP On Apr 5, 8:05 am, Khalid Mateen <krm2...@gmail.com> wrote: > Morning Everyone: > > I know that the Atlantis is design for rear loading more than front loading > but do any of you guys fight with the instability of front loading on a > Atlantis? > > Thanks > > K. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
