Re: [RBW] Ideas needed for offseting front rack from exposed cable

2020-11-19 Thread 'Eric Norris' via RBW Owners Bunch 
Roberta:

If you go with the Nitto rack, be sure that the bag is supported by the straps, 
not the rack. It can hold a little weight, but its main purpose is to keep the 
bag from moving around.

Re: [RBW] Ideas needed for offseting front rack from exposed cable

2020-11-19 Thread Greg J 
I think I understand the problem.  When you install that bag, the 
back/bottom tilts against the head tube and brake cable?  If that's the 
issue, I solved a similar problem by just getting a piece of flat aluminum 
piece, 4"-5" long and maybe a 1/2" wide, bending it into a Z shape (with 90 
degree angles), and attaching it to the stem through the handlebar bolt 
(drilled a hole).  So one end (short vertical length) bolts into the stem, 
then a horizontal extension of the appropriate length to reach the bag, and 
then a vertical length that will push against the back of the bag to keep 
it vertical and off the head tube.  Hard to explain, but super simple.  

Or you can look up "handlebar extender" on amazon. This is a short length 
of handlebar attached to your handlebar with a couple of clamps.  They 
should do the trick, but is more involved that you may want.

Re: [RBW] Ideas needed for offseting front rack from exposed cable

2020-11-18 Thread Roberta 
Thank you John, Joe, Brian and Eric!

I have two bags but I don't think this one is deep enough to cause a 
rubbing issue:  Carradice Zippered Roll,   
https://www.carradice.co.uk/bags/saddle-packs-sqr-bags/originals-zipped-roll  


It's this VO bag that I got from a member here that I'm concerned about.
I bought it because I can use it without a decaleur.  The bag part is about 
7" deep, but it could hang lower after attachment.   My other Riv is a Joe 
Appaloosa with V Brakes, but Joe makes a good point that I wouldn't want a 
bag marring the head tube.

Eric, that's an interesting look at the item.  John H. also gave it a 
thumbs up for quality.

I’ll just chime in to say that the Nitto bag support is indeed very nice. 
Here’s a photo of the Nitto part holding up a small (Acorn) bag on my 1972

[RBW] Ideas needed for offseting front rack from exposed cable

2020-11-18 Thread Roberta 
 Does anyone have  suggestions for something to "offset" a front handlebar 
bag from rubbing on the front exposed cable?  

With John H's help, we found this 
https://www.benscycle.com/nitto-f16-front-handlebar-hook-bag-supporter-bag-part-nitto--870-288-10/p
 
, but it's a bit pricey.  The support "shelf" is nice but not required.

I'm not interested in a permanently fixed item. as I'd move it from Riv to 
Riv.  Other than the price, I like this item.

Thanks,
Roberta
