Re: [RBW] Re: Mark’s Rack in Rear of 50 cm Cheviot

[Joe Bernard]

HappiSack, light loads, is what I've deduced from convos here and elsewhere 
about the rack/bag situation. I think the Mark's Rack was a bad idea from the 
beginning, that tombstone thingy will interfere with the saddlebag. Leah's mom 
needs a Nitto Top Rack or similar.

What bag and for what use? I agree about the tobstone possible problem.
Hold the rack in place (w bag on) and measure distance to
eyelets/braze-ons. New struts are the cheapest path forward but if the bag
/rack relationship is rocky from the start don't buy the ring.

[Bicycle Belle Ding Ding!]

I think she needs a different Nitto rack. She loves her Happisack (it’s BLUE! 
😂) and I don’t see her parting with it. Hopefully Vince calls her back today 
and they can get it straightened out. Thanks for your help, All!

Well sure, she could trade the bike in for a Trek and forget all that "1950s 
era" stuff, too. 

She needs a rack on the bike she bought to support the bag she likes. There's 
no point in suggesting her bag is bad technology.

And if you're willing to look at a big Nitto, look into Tubus as well. 
We've had great experience with 4 racks (for the family) and associated 
roll top rear Ortlieb panniers. The beauty of the Tubus + Ortlieb setup is 
this: it takes about 5 seconds to attach or detach. You can carry 
lots-o-stuff without futzing with cargo nets, baskets, and 1950s era seat 
bags. It''s so simple you will actually use it.

  I would recommend the NITTO Big Back Rack, either the 32R or the 33R, 
whichever fits your mom's bike. I know it's more expensive, but it safely 
holds more weight, has a wider platform, supports big & little saddlebags 
alike, super stable, and is damn useful. We have two, one on a Betty Foy, 
one on a Hunqapillar. Hard to beat.

[RBW] Re: Mark’s Rack in Rear of 50 cm Cheviot

[Drw]

I’m with joe on this. The marks rack tombstone, more often than not, has 
impeded natural saddlebag placement when I’ve tried it...especially on riv bags 
that go under the saddle a ways.There are so many good options for saddlebag 
supports these days that i wouldn’t use a front rack on the rear unless it was 
a really good deal, or lying around the garage.

[Joe Bernard]

You could use a Nitto Top Rack and not be futzing about with a front rack on 
the rear. I think the proper solution here is to return the Mark's and order a 
Top Rack from whomever has it in stock.

[Kainalu V. -Brooklyn NY]

You could use short enough screws to attach to both sides of the hourglass, 
triangulating well enough to support a saddlebag no sweat, with a diving board 
of course. Would be good for side to side structure/zero sway as well.

Looks like the Cheviot only has one set of hourglass braze-ons on the 
chainstays, which means the second strut on a Mark's Rack would need to 
attach to the fender mounts on the dropouts. I can't imagine the strut 
supplied with the M1 would be long enough, likely by...6-8 inches. 

You could likely use a P-clamp to make that second strut attach to the seat 
stay, but on a new bike that's a bodge.

So yes, she probably has a pair of longer struts in her immediate future.
