Howdy Riv folk, I just purchased two Tubus racks for an upcoming tour in June. Thought I'd post a few pictures of them as I've seen some posts regarding racks quality and load capabilities.
IMHO the tubus racks don't seem as quality built as the Nitto racks but the price was within my range and I liked the idea of a rear light mount on the Cosmo. I also decided on the Nova front rack as to keep the front load low. I read from a reviewer that the Nova was a good choice because of the bottom part which is horizontal to the ground making it easier to attach bungee cords and prevent slip off? Really don't know if that will even matter for my purposes. Also planning on mounting my Mark's rack with the Nova rack as well. The finish on the Tubus racks is nice, a sort of brushed silver as opposed to the Nitto racks which are more polished, the Tubus look pretty nice though. I'll be mounting them on my 58cm Hilsen ( pics will be forthcoming ) and I will later report as to their roadworthiness, and function post tour. The durability part will of course be over time. http://www.flickr.com/photos/pedalpusher61/sets/72157633284450138/ Best, Hugh Sunland, CA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
