[RBW] Re: Seeking advice (and WTB) front lowrider rack and panniers for canti Sam

Bob Most Rivendell bikes in 2016 come with fork tips that have rack/fender eyelets both above and below the fork tip. My 2009 Hillborne only has eyelets below the fork tips which limits the choices of what I can run. The Hub Area Rack, for example, is intended to run on the upper set, which

Thanks, Patrick. That's what the older thread said, as well. David, no thread drift apology necessary. I was wondering the same thing in reference to my 47 Schwalbes, which I'd run if the weather allowed me to leave fenders at home... What about panniers? What's the best value/quality combinat

Thanks, Zach. I read that older thread about the Hillborne-Tara conundrum. Sounds like p-clamps or the adapters sold a few places are the answer. I'll send you an e-mail right now. On Monday, May 23, 2016 at 11:03:10 AM UTC-4, Zach Duval wrote: > > I've got a Tubus Tara I haven't been using as w

I've got a Tubus Tara I haven't been using as well as a pair of Seattle Sports waterproof pannier in blue. I would probably be willing to part with both. The Tara does require a hack to work on the Hillsborne's not quote low enough mid-fork mounts. Others here could probably advise a few solut
