The NITTO M18 looks like a Mark's rack, but holds much more weight (~17lbs.) I don't know why since they look identical to me, except the Mark's rack has two more strut tabs and a tab on the front edge of the rack. http://www16.ocn.ne.jp/~nitto210/carrier-E.html -- You received this message

Takashi, That's a good idea. Looking at Will's Cheviot it is a R14 rack. So rather than having a spring board one would need to buy another set of struts and hardware to connect to the rear slotted interface of the R14 rack platform. Larger platform and double struts very nice. ~Hugh ~Hugh

D, That's the Mark's rack and the right one for your application. Cheers, ~Hugh On Friday, June 5, 2015 at 10:53:44 PM UTC-7, D Yat wrote: Seeking advise on a front rack for a Betty Foy. I just want to put a basket up front (and not carry low-mounted panniers.) The photo of the Chevoit
