Re: [RBW] Re: Nitto Basket Rack Reports and Photos?

[Bill Lindsay]

The rack I would recommend vigorously for fork tips of that kind is the 
Nitto 27F.  Here's a link from Alex's:

https://alexscycle.com/collections/racks/products/nitto-front-campee-cross-27-for-700c-1

The ends are all steel.  They dogleg to find the under-the-fork-tip boss, 
and have an integrated spacer to clear the fork blade itself.  Use the 
included hardware to attach to the brake posts or if you have mid-fork 
braze-ons, use normal aluminum stays to get there.  The rack should be tall 
enough for just about any Atlantis appropriate tire.  The top platform is 
not as wide as a Riv Basket rack, but I've had no problems with a Wald 
basket strapped to it.  It feels a little excessive to buy detachable 
lowriders if you honestly never want to use them, but I prefer to think of 
it as extra versatility.

More and more clear that Bill is right - you need the top bosses to properly 
mount this rack. Gorgeous setup :)

My new Clem with basket rack. I like it a lot, and it mounted easily. The 
Clem does have a lot of eyelets.

Re: [RBW] Re: Nitto Basket Rack Reports and Photos?

[ted]

using a spacer (riv sells nice ones though they are currently out of stock) and 
a longer bolt allows the rack strut to clear the fork blade without needing to 
go flush along the fork end (aka drop out) between the qr axel and the end of 
the fork blade. We’re you to do that you would likely find the qr lever would 
have to be oriented differently to close properly.
To be sure it’s nicer to have a mount on the top of the fork end for rack 
mounting, but it’s possible to do it without them.

Sorry about the link. And I just looked at my dropout.  has dual eyelets 
and I'm using the top ones so my setup does not mirror yours.  It does make 
me wonder about the origin of my bike. Dual eyelets, on front dropout but 
no rack eyelets on fork.

Thanks everyone, I'll follow Bill's lead and probably save the rack to an 
upcoming Susie build.

Ted, the problem isn't the QR, it's the notch in the fork and the location 
of the boss.

Sky, I tried your link, but it seems your account is private.

Rotate the qr so it’s not over the mounting bolt, get a longer bolt and a 
spacer so the rack mount stay can clear the fork blade.

Re: [RBW] Re: Nitto Basket Rack Reports and Photos?

[maxcr]

Has anyone successfully installed a basket rack on an older Toyo Atlantis?

Mine is a 61 with 700c wheels and I don't see how to make it fit. I thought 
it would make a fun weekend project, but I'm stuck.

There's a notch that limits the angle of the support extension, see photo. 
I tried longer ones which I had from a rear rack, but they also don't work 
(and look ridiculous).

Any ideas welcome.

Actually, it looks like they have a restock right now. As of this morning,
there were 8 available. But yeah, i'm sure this rack will be around for a
long time so take your time deciding.

[RBW] Re: Nitto Basket Rack Reports and Photos?

[Isaac Enloe]

Thanks, Justin. I really appreciate the quick review and photos. One of the 
things I really like about the Basket Rack is that you can bring the basket 
closer or further from the crown while keeping it level, unlike my old 
Large Front Rack, which put the center of the basket in front of the hub 
and could be a little unwieldy. I had wondered about the drop attachments, 
both in terms of aesthetics and strength, so it's good to see that they 
don't look bad and to hear that they feel secure.

It looks like I'll have some time to think more about it, because they're 
all sold out.

Thanks again,

Isaac

[RBW] Re: Nitto Basket Rack Reports and Photos?

[Drw]

related questions I hope.

Do the platform mounting points align with that of a marks rack? Meaning could 
I use a Marks rack platform.

Without the little leg extenders from the dropout mounting point, is the rack 
definitely too short? I know this will vary for wheel size, but generally, are 
the non extended legs not long enough?

[Bill Lindsay]

Related to this topic: I just went to check inventory on rivbike.com for 
the basket rack.  The way you 'check inventory' is try to add 100 of them 
to your cart, and the site will tell you how many you can add.  I tried to 
add 100 and it said I can only add 1.  Last one!  Who's going to get it?  
I'm tempted to run it backwards, with the low tombstone in front, so I can 
use the two underside tabs to run a pair of custom bent struts to my MIT 
Atlantis fork crown, avoiding the diving board part altogether.  I don't 
know for sure it will work, and I don't have the $250 to run the 
experiment, so it looks like I'll miss out on this batch.  No doubt by the 
end of today they'll be out of stock
