one more tubus-related question-- my bike (cdale xs800) doesnt have a brake bridge. does that mean i am limited to their heavy duty racks, or is there some mounting solution so i could run a fly or luna?
i just threw down for some arkel xm-45s. oh yeeeah... im in it now!
I don't usually post to the Touring forum since I have yet to do a loaded tour but since I'm in and no one else has replied yet. The upper rack mount you need will depend on you bike. the OMM racks that Arkel sells are designed to attach to cantilever brake posts or the seat stays if they have the provision. Most of the Tubus racks are designed to mount to the seat stays with the exception of the light models intended for road bikes without the normal mount points.
