I’ve heard of several folks having the bolt on the 32f break at the threads. It’s always after much abuse, but I suspect this is the reason for the less-than-expected (and probably still conservative) weight rating. That said, it’s easy to give the rack some extra support and stiffness by

I have to say that it does look very nice -- that frame is, in fact, one of the best proportioned that I've seen; the curved lower tt is perfect -- aesthetically. But man, I have to say that adding a second tt to an already stout frame in a medium size just makes me cringe, philosophically: I

[RBW] How heavy a front load on lowriders on a Rivendell road bike?

I often install the front (Ortlieb Sports Packers) on the '03 Road for a grocery run to Corrales, and end up buying enough to fill most of the rear Roller Packers. I manage to stuff it all in, somehow, but I've carried as much as 35 lb between the 2 fronts, and the bike doesn't like it -- it
