Books will necessitate something more beefy than the lightweight long rear rack that Rivendell sells.
So the Nitto big rear makes a lot of sense. It fits easily on the Ram's mounts. Pretty sure the sidepulls won't intersect the rack's support rods. The Ram can handle a full rear rack, just not a full size front rack. Nitto + Riv frame routinely is a tight match. The Nitto big is one of those inexpensive things that is worth it. I've toured many times with one on several different Rivendells. - Jim W.
