I did have a Pass and Stow rack on a Black Mountain Cycles road+ and it was
perfectly centered (mounted on lower eyelet). I’ve seen the rack mounted on
the lower eyelet on a Susie and it looked good. The upper mount makes it
“look” too high and forward from what I have seen. Can’t wait to get
Ideally, the center of the front panniers should sit as close to the center
of the front wheel axle as possible. This provides the most predictable
handling. Two issues with the Pass and Stowe front rack are the panniers
sit higher than a traditional "low rider" and the rack is a bit too far
Tim,
Thanks for the the confidence that I will be happy with the front rack! If
my bike was as loaded as yours, it would be just about everything I own!
Haha. Great looking bike!

Tim,
Your Susie looks like a workhorse ready to travel the world. The skateboard
is a nice touch too. I have to think the lowish toptube is a welcome
feature after many miles of travel.

I’m interested in this as well. I think a good part of it comes down to
handling preferences. Some have said it handles great with a front load and
others said it was terrible. I picked up a Pass and Stow rack for my Susie.
I plan to use panniers more than the flat rack but that will depend on
