I've got the F15 with the Barsack. I used it at first on my Hilsen, now it's on the Roadeo. It's great for brevets. It doesn't bother the steering. Another neat thing about the rack is that the clamps that attach to the handlebars are pretty inconspicuous, so you can remove the rack and leave

Re: [RBW] A plug to buy something from Rivendell Bicycle Works: A Nitto F-15 rack

It seems to me it'd better to plug the bag, not the rack, since so few bags are made to go with it. Seems very specialized, whereas most other front racks will fit most other front bags. That being said, it looks like a cool system (barsack + f15). I've seen the barsack in person and it's much

Another very happy user here. I have two boxy bags and two racks. I also have a Berthoud medium bag on a decaleur on another bike. The Berthoud is only marginally bigger. The boxy bag is plenty big for a brevet unless I need a lot of spare clothing, in which case the Berthoud is too small, too.

I had one of those many years ago with a "Boxy Bag" Riv used to sell. The bag had tubular channels for those rods to slide through. My guess is any handy seamstress could modify most types of handlebar bags to fit those rods. That would open up numerous options for other bags. I don't know

I don't think it was mentioned and it's a great point about the bars. Lots of stuff plays into sizing. Perhaps he would like to offer more info and someone could offer a more specific response. Or maybe he was already leaning towards one and was looking for a bit of reassurance. Don't know.

My PBH is 83.x. If I was going to get a Pacer, it'd be a 52 or 54, but certainly I would not want to go 56 because then i'd need a real short stem which IMO does not work for that bike.. the question is, and pardon if it was mentioned, but does Jay want drop bars or not? If not, well then yes,

The Sackville Bar Sack may be kind of small, especially if you are packing raingear on a brevet. I love the magnetic closure feature. RuthWorks knows how to make a bag for the F-15 and could build it tall if you have room. Or maybe David Banzer even. On Thursday, September 22, 2016 at

Nitto makes a front rack called the F-15. It clamps to the 26.0mm part of your drop bars and it's a u shaped support around the perimeter of a handlebar bag. Rivendell stocks that rack and has 13 of them in stock as of 9/22/16. Various bag makers offer a bag to fit that rack. There is a

[RBW] Re: Surly Pacer sizing

PBH is no absolute either, no method is ! This may be the most difficult thing to understand because people are so used to having other people tell them what they should want or be like. There are many variables of why a frame may be "just right" or not, some you can't even put into words

I'm with Grant sizing wise 100% on this one about not letting top tube length lead you around to much by the nostrils. My experience with the top tube length has been it is pretty easy to adjust for with a shorter / longer stem and depending on how high your bars are much of that length can be

It's best to look at the geometry chart to compare, however. The pacer is not like the crosscheck or straggler. I can easily ride a 52 pacer, but a 54 straggler was a bit too long - 54 straggler is a 563.3 top tube, 52 pacer is a 540 top tube. 54 pacer is a 555.. On Thursday, September 22, 2016
