Rivendell's Mark Abele came up with this design, and Nitto executed it perfectly. It's now a modern classic in the mini-rack genre. There are lots of ways to use it -- as a saddlebag support in back, as a platform for a basket (zip-tie the basket on), or just to strap a stuff-sack full of gear onto it.
Note: 5kg/11lbs weight limit, as per Nitto.
ALWAYS use this rack with a tether between the tall tongue-loop and the handlebar. It's a strong little rack, but people do dumb things, and the tether is a safety measure. Make the tether out of cord or any adjustable strap.
Comes with two 14cm struts - for mounting on rear seatstay bosses; and two 26cm struts - designed to work on all Rivendell forks with the mid-fork rack mounts; may or may not reach other fork lowrider braze-ons.
