I don't like the heavy front-end feel, and prefer a heavily-loaded rear rack.Smudgemohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16303716097523565767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24834568.post-2846495750210780492008-03-24T09:33:00.000-05:002008-03-24T09:33:00.000-05:00I don't want to leave the impression the Nashbar r...I don't want to leave the impression the Nashbar rack was too difficult to install. I'd do it again without question. It's like most rack installations, you usually need to work around something to get it done.rigtenzinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07753944603301426002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24834568.post-83404739299091884612008-03-24T09:31:00.000-05:002008-03-24T09:31:00.000-05:00It's a Nashbar rack.

I'll be a paying that off into the next decade.<BR/><BR/>The rack mounts to the fork crown and the brake bosses. It was a bit fussy to mount as I had to stretch the rack to fit the bosses. Reinstalling the brakes was a bit of a pain due to the tight clearances created by the presense of a rack. Yes, I'm quite a whiner when I get a chance.<BR/><BR/>Baskets are normal at the Hiawatha Cyclery Saturday morning rides, but then so are fenders, racks, and bad breath.rigtenzinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07753944603301426002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24834568.post-77713812843811418072008-03-24T07:54:00.000-05:002008-03-24T07:54:00.000-05:00I rode with a younger group the last two rides.
