On the other hand, that eyelet crimp on the arm doesn't look like you could rotate the light around so much to make it rotate higher if needed, so the Marks rack attachment would give you more freedom of rotation and...(blows raspberry with finger on lips and eyes-crossed while tearing hair out)

I think that light mount is a piece of metal bolted onto the strut that they offer, not a welded on light mount arm, like the Berthoud. Here it is, scroll down until you see the cockpit shot of the black-bar-taped-handlebarred-bike-withbag. The next pix below is the rack. See how the light moun

Looking online, I haven't found many front racks for sidepulls, and the only one I have seen with a dedicated light mount is the Berthoud rack (non-drive side). That is a big attraction to me, since I would hate to get a rack and discover that the light I want (hanging edelux II) won't fit easi

I'm about to get a rack for my Homer. It's for rando, specifically a Berthoud bag, and the Mark's rack is the one I'm leaning toward. I would possibly get a Grand Bois from Compass but they only have the racks that mount to canti studs. They are a bit lighter than the Mark's rack. I do like the

I had a Marks rack. I found it to be heavy (lots of fasteners) and very flexy. Clay -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to rbw-owners-bunch+unsubs

On the Rando frame (which I have) the Daruma created no issue with tire clearance because there was so MUCH clearance on the bike (in fact, the Rando as designed didn't need a daruma--there was a plate the bottom of the fork crown with a threaded hole for attaching fenders and rack, but I manag

OP was asking about the VO Rando rack, which is different than the VO Passhunter rack and the VO front Constructeur rack. BTW, all have fender mounts. The Rando rack goes on VO proprietary spaced braze-on mounts (different than the Riv standard ones) or you can use p-clamps. It also attaches und

I have the VO pass hunter with the integrated decal on a 62 cm Saluki. It works well enough, but would not actually accommodate the taller bag which that bike actually calls for. I have the Marks rack on both my Ram & tandem. It too works well but the design brings the crown attachment over t

I like the VO rack, but then I have the frame it was sort of made for. There's a nice rack fitting on the bottom that helps support my front fender. The support arms aren't fancy--the ends are squashed tubing rather than lugged--but they work well. Personally, I prefer dull to shiny finishes,

I bought a VO Pass Hunter for my daughter's V-brake bike. I ended up having to cut and re-weld the mounting stays to get the right clearance and rack angle. Finish is nice, but it's not Nitto. It worked out, but if I had looked closer into it beforehand, would have probably have bought the C
