[RBW] Re: Best front rack for Hunqapillar?

Scott, I suppose the person you bought it from must have changed them to the regular ones because the rack is sold with canti struts. Good to know that the regular ones work too though ! On Saturday, August 5, 2017 at 3:15:25 PM UTC-4, Scott Blouke wrote: > > Garth > I got my 27F used and

[RBW] Re: Best front rack for Hunqapillar?

Garth I got my 27F used and it didn't come with the canti struts I just use regular nitto struts to mid fork eyelets since its now on a bombadil it was on a Ram w/ P Clamps. The 27F Pannier supports are really short so I had to shorten the bungie hook on the Panniers so they would stay on. On

Michele , I did mean the one that Scott linked . I had not thought about it though, but the Surly kit can even be used with that rack, though I don't know it's capacity as it's not stated ! But still, having a larger platform would better support a basket and you could use all sorts of

I would infer Garth meant this one. https://store.velo-orange.com/index.php/accessories/racks-decaleurs/vo-porteur-rack.html and use these for a higher attachment point instead of just the fork crown mount. http://surlybikes.com/parts/small_parts/rear_rack_upper_kit "I'd get a porteur rack

@Garth do you mean the *Constructeur Front Rack?* https://store.velo-orange.com/index.php/accessories/racks-decaleurs/vo-constructeur-front-rack.html On Saturday, August 5, 2017 at 3:42:44 AM UTC-7, Garth wrote: > > Either the Soma Deluxe Porteur or the Velo Orange one with the Surly strut >

[RBW] Re: Best front rack for Hunqapillar?

Either the Soma Deluxe Porteur or the Velo Orange one with the Surly strut kit for $35 if you plan on carrying anything more than 5 pounds. Yes, I know people do it all the time but that doesn't make it a great idea. Both of these would have 4 and/or 5 point attachments and be stable. --

Thanks for noting the Pass & Stow 3-Rail which also looks like a great option. On Saturday, June 24, 2017 at 10:24:06 AM UTC-7, John wrote: > > Hi Michele, > > Out of curiosity, how much weight are you planning on putting on your > front rack? > > I use the Nitto 32F front rack w/ a

Re: [RBW] Re: Best front rack for Hunqapillar?

Bill thanks for highlighting the 4 point racks which alleviate the risk. I also love that the Nitto 27F has removable pannier extensions, in case I don't need those on a daily basis. I think I'm on the right track now :) On Sat, Jun 24, 2017 at 9:29 AM, Bill Lindsay wrote:

Hi Michele, Out of curiosity, how much weight are you planning on putting on your front rack? I use the Nitto 32F front rack w/ a basket on my Hunqapillar. The version Riv sells now is sans front tab that could possibly catch on a nobby front tire if the rack failed. I know it

[RBW] Re: Best front rack for Hunqapillar?

Michele asked for thoughts about Rivendell's guidance to use a tether with a Nitto 32F front rack, calling it a junky addition. Rivendell is being very cautious with your safety, it's true. Every rack in the world that attaches in three points like the 32F has a bolt on attachment the fork

[RBW] Re: Best front rack for Hunqapillar?

Thanks all for the input. I've never had a front rack before, and it's a bit confusing. I notice that in the 32F page, Riv says, "ALWAYS use this rack with a tether." Seems like the rack should be well-made enough not to require that junky addition. What are the thoughts of those with

[RBW] Re: Best front rack for Hunqapillar?

I like the Surly front rack. Granted it's not finished as well and ain't quite pretty, but it certainly is functional and I'm a lot happier than I was with Blackburn lowriders. I have a couple of posts on my blog concerning the change.

[RBW] Re: Best front rack for Hunqapillar?

Unfortunately, Hauling Colin isn't making the porteur rack. Riv uses the Mini-Front 32F, which is great for medium Wald basket https://www.rivbike.com/collections/racks/products/nitto-mini-front-rack-32f-20020 Nitto M12 will probably work. (Riv prefers not to use canti-posts for rack mounts.)
