Here's how I did it: https://photos.app.goo.gl/bQ6G2tBKHaWeErrr8 I never really used it, but I don't like racks and prefer large front handlebar bags. On Saturday, October 8, 2022 at 4:55:28 PM UTC-5 BobW wrote: > I'm considering taking my Sam on some bike tours so looking into from >

[RBW] Re: WTB: Wavie Bar 750x31.8

I could be wrong, but I don’t think there is such a bar. I think it is listed as a possible size, and was teased as a possibility in 2022. Someone please correct me if this is incorrect - I’m very interested in this bar as well! Randy in Wisconsin On Saturday, October 8, 2022 at 10:15:09 AM

Re: [RBW] Nitto Basket Rack: is it too heavy?

I think the rear basket looks quite good actually, to my surprise to be honest! And up front, it'll allow that Fab's bag to hang without impediment and you can mount the headlight off the fork crown, which are some big wins in the elegance department. I love the aesthetic and convenience of

I bought these to commute in last year from LL Bean and just don't dig them. I have owned Swrve jeans as well and they are really similar (perhaps made in the same factory) and fit a bit less skinny than Swrve. They are a mix of cordura, cotton, and spandex and also have a crotch gusset. I

[RBW] Re: Front low rider rack for Sam Hillborne

Thanks for the input. Ideally, I'm looking for a rack where the attachment point align with the standard Riv braze on point at the dropout and mid-fork. It appears that the Nitto Mark's MF2 rack that Rive carries works, but is kind of pricey @ $221

Randy, I believe you're correct that they haven't actually made those 31.8 Wavies yet. I do have a pair of the new for 2022 and also currently sold out Bull Bar 70cm x 31.8 I'm going to listing on the group if either of you are

Re: [RBW] Nitto Basket Rack: is it too heavy?

"I think the rear basket looks quite good actually, to my surprise to be honest!" Jason, I was surprised, too. I think it's the long stays, there's so much room back there behind the saddle and it fills the space like it belongs there. I like it!  On Sunday, October 9, 2022 at 10:49:33 AM

Scary. In the other direction, I got a good foot planted on the hood of an obnoxious Bentley that was being disrespectful of bicycle cross traffic. The driver looked super pissed and horribly distraught all at once. Not a Joe Bell, but the paint was pretty nice. I’ll do the same to any car,

Re: [RBW] Re: WTB: Wavie Bar 750x31.8

I think it’s only 700 wide but you can add those bar end extension things (can’t remember what they’re called) to make it wider. A buddy at Golden Saddle did that to his. Joe > On Oct 9, 2022, at 9:21 AM, larson@gmail.com > wrote: > > I could be wrong, but I don’t think there is such

Oh yes, it will be great to see that brake and head badge again! Hopefully the marks on the front bag aren't too noticeable since it'll be "the back side" from most viewing angles. Regarding using racks like the M-18 and M1-B with a basket: they do have a pretty low load rating (4.4lbs?),

Re: [RBW] Nitto Basket Rack: is it too heavy?

All of what Jason said, and I'll add what I think I remember about Nitto's concern for Mark's Rack: I believe they worry about the adjustable struts and that most folks connect them at the mid-fork braze-ons; that's not a very strong load-bearing situation and things can get bad fast if the

My bike trail was closed for two weeks in April, 2020, so I rode 2 miles on the 45mph road to get to the next county where it was still open. I stayed well to the right of the shoulder white line, but one day a passing driver came close enough to clip my rear-view mirror. Handlebars went hard
