Re: [RBW] Re: Nitto 32F Rack weight limit?

This is why I’ve just opted for the five rail rack from Pass & Stow: 25lbs or less suggested, rated to 50lbs, and can handle 200lbs. I’ll *never* need all that it can offer tbh. On Saturday, February 4, 2023 at 4:57:20 PM UTC-8 Joe Bernard wrote: > This is why Riv got Nitto to make a

[RBW] Bicycle Film Festival

I am deep in the throes of missing my bike. March is feeling like a long ways away and I have stopped looking at my Rivendells as I pass them by. It’s just too sad. So instead, I have taken to watching the Bicycle Film Festival. I stumbled across that account on Instagram and was intrigued. I

Re: [RBW] Re: Nitto 32F Rack weight limit?

This is why Riv got Nitto to make a Basket Rack. They kinda backed themselves into a world of riders putting big loads in a big basket on a little rack on the if-the-wheel-locks-up-things-get-ugly-fast end of the bike and...you don't want that. I tried it, I hated the way it affected the

Re: [RBW] Re: Nitto 32F Rack weight limit?

I've never used a rack that wasn't stronger than the M5 stainless steel screws attaching it to the bike. Years ago Riv said don't put baskets on this rack. With all sorts of wink wink caveats and the advice to always put a strap around your rack/basket to your handlebar. >From memory, Nitto

Re: [RBW] Re: Blue Lug / Nitto strut light mount hack

You’re right, Peter. In fact, the Blue Lug page that talks about this “hack” shows them using it to mount a front Koma light (clear lens). One thing to note; the Koma light mounting brackets are all M5, rather than the M6 standard for most dyno headlights. That’s why this tab works so well - one

[RBW] Re: Blue Lug / Nitto strut light mount hack

I don't see any reason it couldn't be used to mount a headlight the same way, if you've got a handlebar bag rack with Nitto-sized struts. If you don't want to hacksaw the unneeded extra tab off, you can rotate the mount downward to avoid interference with the rack's mount point, although you

Re: [RBW] Re: Nitto 32F Rack weight limit?

I've been puzzled by Nitto's and consequently Rivendell's -- yes, absurdly low -- weight limits for racks that are sold as the top in design and quality and price. I see that the Riv product copy instructs users to use the strap right after stating the 2 kg weight limit for this $160 rack. The

Re: [RBW] Re: Blue Lug / Nitto strut light mount hack

Yes. Spare daruma bolts are key. I think if you’re a Nitto rack user, it’s always a good idea to have a couple of these laying around as spare… but also if you have an unused Nitto rack laying around in your parts bin.On Feb 4, 2023, at 1:40 PM, J wrote:Looks nice. You would also need to have a

Thanks John! The light itself is perfectly fine. Not crazy bright or fancy, but serves its purpose. These are lights that Blue Lug introduced a few years back, and they fit the whole Blue Lug / Rivendell / Crust aesthetic perfectly. The battery life isn’t as good as some other USB rechargeable

[RBW] Re: Nitto 32F Rack weight limit?

I've always thought the "weight limit" on that rack was absurdly low, especially for such an expensive item. If you put a bag or basket on it, there's half of the weight capacity taken up already. They just put that very conservative rating on it so that you don't load it up with 25 lbs of
