What Justin said. You can also run both stays to the mid-fork braze on.

Hi Joe,
Good to hear your feedback on these shifters.
I have been looking for an alternative to the IRD shifters.
Thanks gain Joe :-)

I had them on a Clem, they work great in friction. You can even use the left in
index mode if you swap the cables. It might feel weird to your brain, but
there's really no reason for the rear shifting to be on the right side. The
derailers don't care where the shifter is!

Thanks Joe, I was really hoping it was possible.
After destroying several friction shifter after my bike falls over, I moved
all my shifters inside the handlebar.

Related to that blug, I just noticed that the red MicroShift, 9 speed
SL-T09 is installed inside the handlebar.
I would like to use this shifter but I thought it could not be used inside
the handlebar.

A 27f without lowriders is basically a VO constructeur. I’d love to see a 27f,
but instead of the removable lowriders you get a slightly higher/extended
permanent crossbar that would be wide enough for small panniers. There seems to
be a gap in the market for non huge racks that can take a

Regarding the Surly rack: there was a picture in a newsletter or blog entry in
the last year or so, where mark had figured out a superior way to mount it to a
riv fork. He used the bosses on the top of the crown but, instead of using the
straight struts and having to bend them, he used the
I appreciate the versatility of the Surly 8-Pack Rack, but the
erector-set-style mounting gives me the heebies. Even if it works well and
doesn't rattle loose it just looks... bad.

I had a nightmarish vision that the new Basket Rack from Nitto, is going to be
a gigantic platform rack with little wire loops welded on the platform for zip
ties.
Shudder.

Less changing zipties every 3 months means less plastic being used.

Patrick asked "Why not built a quality basket?" But then what would good
Rivsters do with all their zip ties?
I've run a basket on a rear rack with good results.

Me too. I’m the only person on this thread to have broken an m12 with a basket.
It took 14 years. I will not change my ways. I doubled down, and had the basket
welded to the rack. I expect the break the basket/rack never

I’ve never heard of a company selling a decaleur as a weight supporting device.
I’ve only heard and read of them being billed as a stabilizer. VOs initial
decaleurs got a lot of flack for breaking at the weld but most of the time it
appeared as if they were installed so the decaleur was load
Something like the Nitto big rack or Surly front rack will handle a loaded
basket no problem, but the problem I see is that people are sticking that
kind of load on a small rando rack and then "bikecamping" in some rugged
stuff and the racks have got to eventually fail. They aren't that strong
Well, kinda what concerns me is that, if they've had issues with it where does
that leave Wald? Most people run racks to support their baskets, because the
Wald struts are not up to the task. (Although typically the Wald attaches to
the handlebar as well) Still, failure or bending the strut

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
rather than the clamped on strut at the top. The Nitto front (or any
The mfr's load limit for the Fly was indeed 20 kg, or 44 lb -- 2.2 lb to
the kg; I was confused. I did max it out once or twice.
Not nearly as pretty as one of the Nittos though.
Presently using Chauncey Matthews customs; probably less strong than the
Tubuses but again, no breakage yet.
On Tue,
The no longer made Tubus Fly was rated at 22 kg, iirc, or 44 lb. Perhaps it
was 20 kg. It weighed 11 oz and attached with single, clamped-on strut at
the rear caliper mounting bolt. Pretty clear weight of rack to weight of
load limit ratio. I used them for 20 years, almost, on many bikes, as
Ron, the *static* weight of the load is always 10 times its mass (when
working in SI, otherwise its 32.2 times the mass in slugs). The dynamic
weight of your load is whatever your 12-pack of beer (about 4.5 Kg) is
accelerating at (relative to gravity) just as it hits the basket again;
Also, we, or at least I, don't know the conditions under which the Nitto
racks in question failed. Me, I have carried quite heavy loads (for such
light racks) but for no more than 10 or 15 miles 1-way, and generally half
that or even less; and all this on paved roads.
Still, I do wonder at the
