Hunter -
Thanks for the posting. Unfortunately, based on group input, I splurged
and bought the Nitto Big Front rack.
All the best,
Kevin

Rivendell's CONSERVATIVE weight rating you could put 18.5 lbs on your front
end with that.

Not sure how much weight will go in the panniers; I've never done the
loaded touring thing before, but would imagine that I'd need more than
seven pounds' capacity down there. As for tires, the largest ones I run on
my Hunq are 50mm Marathons, so width shouldn't be a problem.
Thanks, all, for
Ask yourself how much you plan to put in your panniers? Riv says the load
for the Big Front Rack is 30 lbs, and the Hub Area Rack is 7 lbs per
pannier. Another question is how rough are the roads you plan to travel?
And you are limited to tires no larger than 52mm with the Big Front Rack,
Kevin-
Do you want a top platform in addition to pannier capability? If so, the
Nitto Big Front (34F) and Campee Classic (F20 et al) are excellent
choices. The Surly front rack is another good option,but less expensive.
If you do not need a top platform, then the Nitto Hub Area racks are nice.
I've had a big front rack, a campee rack with the detachable lowriders and
now a pass/stow 3 bar rack on my 54cm hunqapillar. all worked well and the
setup was fairly easy. the big front uses p-clamps, but you can get around
that with some really short struts and a little bending.
