[RBW] Re: Nitto Mini Rack and Riv All Rounder fork
I've recently done the Nitto Mini Front installation on Sam Hillborne (700C wheel). Based on your picture, it doesn't look too far off to me. I did have to bend the struts by hand for it to fit (note that the center strut is a lot easier to bend than the support ones on the sides). Just make sure not to let the rack sit too low. I ran into problems later with fender installation. The rack was sitting too low and the light mount at the front was interfering with the curvature of the fender. I eventually had to re-bend the struts and raise the rack a bit. Let me know if you need some pictures. I can try to take a few when I get some time.

I don't think bending the struts is an option. The pictures might not show it well enough but if I bend the struts down, they will move away from the braze-on since they will move in an arc. I'll probably just put the rack on my XO instead. Maybe I'll buy the Mark's Rack from Riv or maybe another one that mounts to the canti bosses. The bike was built for 26 wheels, btw. -Norman in PDX From: dougP dougpn...@cox.net To: RBW Owners Bunch rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, November 9, 2011 12:38 PM Subject: [RBW] Re: Nitto Mini Rack and Riv All Rounder fork The little Nitto on my Atlantis is 155 mm.

Hard to tell from the photo, but it looks like you might be able to straighten the support struts and it would reach. FWIW I have bent/straightened/re-bent a Nitto rack in the past to conform/fit to various bikes, with no issues. -Matt -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Nitto Mini Rack and Riv All Rounder fork
I measured on my Bombadil. My Nitto Mini went right on, and the distance does seem closer to the 150mm you are getting from your rack. I have a second Nitto Mini that I had run on my Hillborne. That also went right on with no special effort. When I can find that rack I'll measure that, too, but I think its pretty likely that they are all ~150mm. If you were to take on the bend idea, I think you'd want to try to slightly straighten the bent arms. You'd need to be fairly careful, perhaps with some primitive tooling. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

If you want to tinker (and want to avoid clamps), you could use slotted bracket from the hardware store as an extension. I think the mounts on your fork are more suited for the campee front full size rack. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Nitto Mini Rack and Riv All Rounder fork
William, I'm thinking of the one here, http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/r5.htm the reason i suspect is that in this video, you can see mark use clamps because the bosses are a little too high. i have an older campee front with the same slots, i am able to use the bosses on my hillborne, but the rack is not quite as level as it should be (i have it tilted back a bit to meet the bosses). on my hillborne those bosses were perfect for a nitto mini front.
