Realize the intent of the Mark's rack:
Nitto and Grand Bois have their nice canti-mount racks out there, and when
you can use it, it's the rack to go-to.
The whole reason the Mark's rack came about was so that you could put a
rack on a bike w/o canti posts... and when you go to
weight-wise, all you're paying for is the steel fork-bolt strap, a couple
of Nitto rod bolts, and a couple of extra inches of aluminum rod - barely a
couple of ounces. Have the VO canti-mount rack on my daughter's bike and
the stiffness is notable.
It's just an opinion .. an Apple isn't an Orange so if you don't
like one or the other it doesn't make one or the other any better than
the other.
Two distinctly different racks. Yes, they are Racks, as fruit is fruit, but
the similarities end there.
BQ contradicts themselves
even simpler than that - if you have canti brakes, use a canti-brake rack.
If you don't, use the other kind.

Consider that we are talking about a full-custom carbon bike that weighs
only 21 pounds with 650B tires and lights and costs $ 11,600. In that
context, Mark's rack seemed out of place. I'd rather replace the carbon
stem with an aluminum one, and spend the savings on a custom rack.

Jan, thanks for the context. The Marks rack would look a bit cobbled on a
$12,000 carbon bike.

This was a sweet deal.
Looking forward to your new bike day, Hugh. I remember the day the box
with my Sam Hilborne arrived.
Out of curiosity, how do multiple front chain rings work on a single
speed? Is their derailment a manual operation?
Best regards,
On Tuesday, October 1, 2013
Yes, manual.

Definitely, thanks for the context.
SH is a fine bike. But even Riv promotes it as a more affordable option
for people who may not want to spend for an AHH or Atlantis. How well or
not Mark's rack suits a Calfee custom has absolutely nothing to do with how
it suits an SH.
On Wednesday,
The Nitto Canti rack is the M12. They also make a M12SL, made from tubular
stainless steel. 250g/215g.

Help me out with this one. Assuming the average unracer wants their bars
up nice and high, what purpose does a road stem (like a Tallux) serve,
and/or why would it be preferred, ever, over a mountain-type stem (Dirt
Drop, Periscopa, etc.) of equal stem length? For the life of me I can't

I would think if you were dropping 11k on a bike you would spend the couple
hundred on a custom rack...

In the context of the original question that started this thread, perhaps
what sort of front rack Jan would prefer on an $11,600 full-custom carbon
bike may not be particularly relevant to choosing a front rack for your Sam
Hillborne.

1. Traditional stem shape for road bikes is like the 7 of the Tallux and
Technomics.
2. I think the Tallux/Technomic stems come in more stem extension length
options (5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13 cm) than dirt drop stems, which are only
two, I think (8 and 10cm?).
3.Looks. I like the traditional

points for two sets of struts. The rack in question only has one

Looks and more extension options. I believe the mountain type stem (like the
dirt drop) is an inherently stronger design. Maybe I'm wrong.

Looking to see what the biggest tire I can use with a 59cm A. Homer Hilsen.
Does anyone know if a Schwalabe Marathon HS 420 - 700x45 will fit?
The max tire per Riv is a 700x43 but maybe these will measure out just
under.
Any suggestions/recommendations would be helpful, thanks!

Hopefully not a useless comment, but here goes. I THINK the clearance on a AHH
is the same as a Sam H. and I run the 45c marathons on my 60cm Sam no problem.
In fact, I can squeeze fenders in there if I fiddle a lot.
