[RBW] Nitto Canti Bolt

2010-02-02 Thread Avuncular
Perhaps someone can help me understand how the Nitto canti bolts sold
by RBW might make attachment of a rack to the brake boss safer. It
seems to me that by nudging the rack bracket a little further from the
fork, it increases the mechanical advantage of the rack and bracket,
thereby increasing the pressure on the braze rather than reducing it.

Would it have something to do with the shorter stud on the Nitto bolt
versus the longer stock bolts? That doesn't make immediate sense to
me, but then I'm no engineer, so I'm sure there are many things I
don't know.

Thanks for your comments.
