Re: [RBW] Re: Nitto M18 vs Mini Front for carrying a basket

[hugh flynn]

As a minor clarification, the direction is not to use baskets with M12 or
similar mini racks designed to support a front rando-style bag (which would
presumably also be supported by a decaleur).

I do not believe Nitto or anyone else has stated that baskets can not be
used with ANY Nitto front rack. The 34F or other full-sized front racks
should be fine with a basket.

The Nitto site still says no baskets on these racks.  it's not just the weight, 
it's the down force on bumps too.  There are sturdy racks intended for baskets 
which are the better choice.

There was this RBW Owners Bunch thread from 8/14/18:

Grant is asking us to not run baskets on Nitto Racks

[RBW] Re: Nitto M18 vs Mini Front for carrying a basket

J. I've used baskets with both, but I tend to use front baskets on these 
racks for light bulky items. They feel about the same, and I've never ad an 
issue with them at all. Grant has always rated them at 4 pounds capacity 
for each. My MUSA Atlantis and Homer don't like more than 2-3 pounds up 
front IMO. I prefer to hang my generator lights off racks so that's at 
least 50% of my motivation for running a front rack (on my Riv's). I have a 
low trail fork with a Rawland Demiporteur rack on an old Litespeed 
conversion, that rack is rated to 22 pounds, and the bike handles best with 
5 pounds up front (or more). These are heavier and less finished, but they 
work well and I have run them close to capacity (chainsaw).
