[RBW] VO Randonneur Front Rack on Sam Hillborne

2016-10-23 Thread Lungimsam 
 I had a 52 blue Sam. I bought the VO Rando rack and put it on my Bleriot. But 
before I did that I checked to see if it would fit the Sam eyelets on the fork. 
It would not fit. The Rando rack stays, if I remember correctly, don't come 
down low enough to meet the fork eyelets. Stay angle is wrong for the Sam. So I 
put an M18 on the Sam. Rando on Bleriot with Pclamps.

Unfortunately there are not many choices of front racks for Sidepull brake 
bikes. But the M18 as well as the Mark's rack will work on a Sam. But I would 
go for the M18 as it is rated for way more weight bearing than the Mark's.

[RBW] VO Randonneur Front Rack on Sam Hillborne

2016-10-23 Thread Michael Flournoy 
Has anyone tried using this? This is for a  Hillborne with caliper brake. I 
want to mount it using the mid-fork braze-ons but the VeloOrange site says 
the braze-ons should be 3.75" below the fork crown. I measure 5" on my 
bike. Is this a no-go or can it be tweaked to work?
