Doing a little digging (because I am looking to replace my brooks that has
eaten 3 pants now), it looks like the Aubisque saddle is the replacement to
the mente and brings the model more in-line with their other models. Still
just as wide it seems.

Not sure if this was on people's radar or not, but it looks like there is a

I agree with Joe on this, Grant has his idea and likely won't be swayed by
the thoughts of the group, that seems to be why he doesn't do disc brakes,
carbon forks, etc... If anything, an anniversary bike gives Rivendell an

mainly asking because tire clearances are slightly different between the
front and rear of one of my bikes that would allow for a bigger (or
knobbier) tire in the back.

It doesn't answer your question, but I recommend taking a look at the klite

Yeah, something to move the load transfer point closer to the center of the
load would help in that, but then you limit your ability run hub area or
low rider racks (depending on the configuration of said racks). Nitto's big
front rack, Surly's front, or the pricier Pass rack all fit the bill

I agree, Patrick, definitely not as pretty as the Nitto. Part of the high
load rating for the Tubus (and most rear racks for that matter) is that
most of the load is transferred vertically to the eyelet bolts near the hub
