Re: [RBW] Tumbleweed Rack on 26" fork -- Hunqapilllar?

If anyone happens to have a Tumbleweed rack for sale, I'm interested. Have 
no need for my big beefy Tubus Logo anymore.

Re: [RBW] Tumbleweed Rack on 26" fork -- Hunqapilllar?

[Ginz]

Drew,

Could I trouble you for a measurement on the T-Rack?  From the eyelet on 
the bottom of the say to the center of the upper stay?  Said, differently, 
how far below the rack deck is the eyelet on the upper stays?  I'm trying 
to figure out if the 355mm version would allow the upper stays to hit the 
bosses on the fork crown properly or if they would be too low.  Too high is 
ok, i can bend them.  Too low could be a problem.  

Thanks!

Re: [RBW] Tumbleweed Rack on 26" fork -- Hunqapilllar?

[Drw]

I have a t-rack on the front of my 650b Atlantis, attached to the top of 
the fork crown. no issues setting it up and a really great rack. You'll 
need to bend the bottom a little bit or use some spacers, but its not a big 
deal. I have basket on mine and then use the mounts for touring. I think it 
really splits the difference between minimal and super functional in the 
smartest way possible.

Re: [RBW] Tumbleweed Rack on 26" fork -- Hunqapilllar?

[Ginz]

Thanks, I hadn't considered the spacing.

I'm trying to find something minimal for the front of the bike that:
Doesn't interfere with the first crown (I'm using the Tektro cable 
hander), and
Doesn't use draw bolts on the vertical stays (just my preference).

If the Tumbleweeds come back in stock, I may give it a go.

Best Regards,
Eric

Just keep in mind you'd have to bend the rack to fit the 100mm+ dropouts 
rather than the 135mm+ drop outs in the rear.

[RBW] Tumbleweed Rack on 26" fork -- Hunqapilllar?

[Ginz]

Hello,

Has anyone tried to fit the Tumbleweed T-Rack or Pannier Rack (355mm deck 
height?) on a Hunqapillar or similar 26" fork using the bosses on top of 
the fork crown?

I'm wondering if that would work.  Some bending of the rack stays might be 
required by I can't tell if the stays' mounting block would be at the right 
height.

I have a Nitto 32F on there but might try something new.

Thanks for any advice.

Eric
