Another idea would be to lop down a worn out chainring. Mounting bolt holes are pre-drilled. A friend did that to mount a light to the small Nitto front rack that Rivendell sells. I like it enough, may have to blatantly copy the idea. On Sep 2, 5:27 pm, PATRICK MOORE wrote: > No; I bought a 6'

No; I bought a 6' length at True Value. I could have used 1 cm wide stock instead; I bought the 2 cm stuff for another project. IIRC, the 2 cm stock was about $8 to $10 for 6'. Tell ya what: send me your address and I'll send you 6". On Fri, Sep 2, 2011 at 4:19 PM, Thomas Lynn Skean wrote: > Hi

It's a 2003 custom road bike built for 559 or 571 wheels (currently 559X31). It handles fine with less than 10 lb in front (it will carry 25 easily in the back). The front rack is a VO Randonneur rack, the rear a custom. The light strut needs some polishing and smoothing -- it's hard aluminum! The

Is that just a regular road bike with a rack mounted to it with P-clamps? I really like that. Any wobbling? or criticism? I really want to try that with my steel road bike, putting a small/medium rando bar bag in the front. Maybe mounting a light as well. I've made a front light mount like that as
