I have to agree with everyone else, i think we are all spoiled by how simple it is to install the Nitto racks on almost any bike. But they have a different look then the VO racks which are cleaner looking since they don't have as much adjustment for bike variance.
I wish VO were a little more explicit about the amount of work required to fit the racks to some bikes. If you need to pull out a hacksaw, powerdrill, vise and hammer to install something, well i don't think that's a bolt-on solution :). Maybe i was just naive and over-looked how much work that would actually be. I love the look of the vo constructeur racks, in fact i just bought a rear to match my front even though i have a perfectly good rear rack on there now. I'm not looking forward to 'installing' the rear, as my bike does not have fenders so i'm using the bolt-on tang for the rear which will require bending as well... Rex on the fender swaying, i had this issue too on my SH + Campee front, which does not have a bolt-hole on the rack to secure the fender, i did it using a daruma bolt and zipties. Having fitted this bike with 2 different front racks, i can't figure out how people with metal fenders can keep the swaying down without securing the fender at the front edge. the daruma in the fork crown always has some slippage for me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
