[RBW] Re: looking to buy tubus front lowrider rack for atlantis w 26 rims: any prefs over tara vs ergo/nova?
That's a nice rack but my first thought was Why didn't they finish it and put a platform on it? For pure touring, it is a very good design. Light weight but sturdy. Holds panniers tight to center. A small handlebar bag is enough for whatever most people need on the ride. I agree it is not practical for commuting or other day to day uses.

Patrick: (I should know better than to leave out details to qualify my statement... apologies)... I was running Big Apple 2.35 (60mm) tires. I didn't try it with narrower tires.

I have a Tara and, while I did not actually mount it on the Fargo, I held it in place and it seemed to me that, with a little bending if necessary, it would work fine at least with 40 mm tires. But if you are sure that it won't work, I'll need the Duo or something.

I originally intended to use these on my Kogswell, but sold that bike before I got around to doing my imaginary grand tour or expedition to Tibet... Then I realized they wouldn't fit on my Fargo (which was too big)... so they sat hanging in my garage for the past few years. On my Bombadil I think I will just stick with the mini/platrack combo... The Tara attaches to the mid-fork braze-ons, but I believe I may also have fork straps. The newer Tara model obviously has been improved to attach to the canti mounts (if you don't have the mid-fork brazes). If interested, $50 + $10 shipping? (Where are you located?) I can take photos tonight. They're black, in great shape, and I have various hardware. montclairbob...@gmail.com On Sep 26, 1:22 pm, canali jwcoll...@hotmail.com wrote: looking to buy tubus front lowrider rack for atlantis w 26 rims: any prefs over the tubus tara vs ergo/nova? just would like to get some feedback on owners' prefs on these racks, if possible, pleasehad read somewhere that I'd also need some P clamp.

Joe, I have a Tara (elder model according to the web site) but have not use the ergo/nova. I have used the Tara on both 700c and 26 wheeled Rivendells. I like the Tara very much. I have no desire to change.
