Your experience and engineering explanation backs up what Bruce Gordon
said. He was referring to the hoop disturbing the rotational stresses.

Ohhh, I see, I was thinking of the round struts. You used flat ones.
Yes, they would be thinner than 1/8" plate.

Can you provide a picture of the strutted mounting??? It seems the struts
would be very short. Or do you mount the strut to the rack like the strut
to Mark's rack with a drawbolt ??

I’ve adapted the BG lowriders to several different forks, I usually use
pieces of rack struts, my lbs always seems to have far more of these than
they want, and they are very handy for this sort of thing. Steve

John,
The steel used is 1/2 inch by .14 inch because that is what I had on hand.
I suspect a lighter solution would work, aluminum maybe? I believe my
Atlantis is a Waterford bike. No spacers were required for either bike. I
don’t think it matters if braze-ons are above or below. On the

Looks like a great solution and it would seem to work if the fork brazeons
were below the rack mounting point, e.g., a BG rack on a fork with 165mm
brazeon spacing.
Is the 1st picture the MIT Atlantis?? If so, it clearly shows the
braze-ons mounted higher on the fork than most racks
Dave's problem looks to be solved. I do want to throw in a couple of
things about Tubus racks:
1. The quoted 165 mm fork tip to mid-fork is what Tubus uses. It is a
commonly used dimension but hardly universal. Case in point being Bruce
Gordon racks. The mid fork mount MUST be correctly
I thought the 'standard' mounting point on the fork was 165mm from the fork
dropout. Bruce Gordon used 7" (178mm) for his front rack, and Waterford
used his spacing in the late 90's and early 2000's.
The RBW braze-ons look too high to fit the racks without odd looking
backward tilt. They
Is that lower-rear mount on the fork really for low rider racks? It looks like
a high-mount for fender stays to me.

Here is my last experiment the new Tubus Grand Expedition front. While it
can be physically mounted to the low rider braze-on it doesn't really
work. You would really want to mount the rack lower and use a P-clamp
around the fork legs or the Tubus LM-1 clamp on mount. I plan on using this
Nice looking rack, but I think Bruce Gordon said "Hopeless is helpless".
RBW even offers their low rider racks with a bolt on hoop.

The product page lists the price as $108.77 per side:

Both sides are in stock. If I bought one I'd buy both sides. I wouldn't
be scared to run an errand with only one side installed. I use a plastic

That's a great looking rack, but then there's this quote that made me wince-

Maximum load capacity is 6kg (around 13 pounds) I could carry 28 Japanese

Doesn't make it any less of a rack, I just think it's

There are versions of the MIT Atlantis that have both Mark's rack braze-ons
and Low rider braze-ons.
Probably can't go wrong with a Tubus Tara.
I can double check to see if a Tubus Duo or Grand expedition will work
sometime this weekend. I have a 53cm still in the box.
Pic from Rivendell
Yes, all forks from Riv with the so-called low-rider mount at mid-fork are
designed to work with racks like the Nitto Mark's. Nitto/Riv also did a Hub
Area Rack for it, and lots of people have made traditional low-rider racks fit.

A friend of mine who's handy with a torch attached them, & also the upper
ones for a small Nitto front rack. Mine is an '03 & the fork had no mounts
when I got it.

Doug, how does it attach to the fork blades? I thought Atlantii didn't
have lowrider mounts.

Nitto and Blue Lug are developing new lowrider racks.
Their Instagram post says that new racks will be announced soon.

I use the Tubus Duo because it installs so easily. I take mine off when
not using & it's easy to do and the Duo takes up little room. It's easy to
ship the bike with the Duo. This is on a Toyo Atlantis but I don't see any
difference for other Atlantis.
