The Nitto Canti rack is the M12. They also make a M12SL, made from tubular stainless steel. 250g/215g. http://www.alexscycle.com/campee-1/camping-carrier/nitto-m12sl.html
I use the 2 struts on top to attach Mark's rack to the Bombadil crown instead of the tang, and it is as solid as it needs to be, it's not like I'm going to put 50 lbs. on it ;) Though some may try ! The only thing about canti mounted racks is do the custom bolts work with every cantilever brake ? ? On Wednesday, October 2, 2013 1:36:58 AM UTC-4, john wrote: > > Well, he's got a point.
