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

It depends somewhat on rim width, but I think around 80-85 is generally
what most v-brake/canti posts are set at these days? Builders will know,
but I believe I read 80mm suggested on a framebuilding forum (Curt
Goodrich?). That's what I used for my spacing when I redid some posts for a

I used levers. Still very difficult with folding Paselas.
As if the tire size was too small or rim too large.
Easier after getting them on first time. But still a fight. One should not have
to fight to mount tires in 2018, especially when there are better sized rims
out there.
Never had to fight

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
these measure 36mm on Mavic A319 rims

Insider information is good!
But, I dunno, a 27F without the low rider isn’t so good looking either. I could
stand the 8-pack rack if I’m zip tying a basket on it. At some point, I’m just
putting the 34F on and calling it a day.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I can't currently think of a
front rack that is less-attractive to my eye than a Surly 8-pack. That
tells you more subjectively about my eye than it does objectively about the
Surly 8-pack rack, but I think it's a pretty gross design, and I'd totally
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've been thinking about this an I'm really intrigued by the Surly 8-Pack

of these racks with canti-brakes.

Brevet rims are tubeless-ready, so they're closer to the "tricky" end of
the spectrum for mounting.
I have Pacenti PL23 650b rims (tubeless-ready), and they're tougher to

However, tires bead up more reliably on tubeless-ready rims, once you

How confident are you that it fits you? It strikes me as clearly too small for
the rider for whom it is set up in the photo. Fit is more important than price
(unless, I suppose, price is more important).
