[RBW] Re: ID or suggest front rack for Betty Foy?
Yes, that is the link to the Cheviot with the front rack I forgot to include in my original post. Thanks for all the insightful commentary and for giving me ideas. Since the Cheviot Betty Foy front fork has attachment points at the midpoint and tip, then the rack might as well use them. Thanks again.

The NITTO M18 looks like a Mark's rack, but holds much more weight (~17lbs.) I don't know why since they look identical to me, except the Mark's rack has two more strut tabs and a tab on the front edge of the rack. http://www16.ocn.ne.jp/~nitto210/carrier-E.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: ID or suggest front rack for Betty Foy?
Takashi, That's a good idea. Looking at Will's Cheviot it is a R14 rack. So rather than having a spring board one would need to buy another set of struts and hardware to connect to the rear slotted interface of the R14 rack platform. Larger platform and double struts very nice. ~Hugh ~Hugh “Life is like riding a bicycle.

D, That's the Mark's rack and the right one for your application. Cheers, ~Hugh On Friday, June 5, 2015 at 10:53:44 PM UTC-7, D Yat wrote: Seeking advise on a front rack for a Betty Foy.
