^ No. That said I'm thinking they would work--the
clamps have a lot of range of adjustment. Lane
doesn't seem that responsive by e-mail but the racks
are solid. If you want to check out a CETMA to see
if it would work let me know--I'm in the Sacto area--
and have one that I haven't installed.

They suck with drops (would be same issue with horns) cause the rack is in b/t so you can't put on a load wider than your bars. Works good with flatbars/risers.

they are overpriced for what they are. taking materials and labor into consideration i wouldn't expect tp pay more than $50 or so for them. $100 is too much for a few rods welded to a few plates

so...i'd like to see if anyone can weld something similar? i'd try if i could weld. hell, if i could weld, i'd do this and a billion other things, like make a long-distance fork by welding all the forks in my kitchen together.

Well, until there's some comparable for less money, I fail to see how this is over-priced. Maybe it's too expensive for you, but it's certainly not over-priced.

I laughed, I'll admit it. You could eat food miles away!

I'm planning to get 48cm drops (Nitto 177) and a 5 rail, so I should have some room.

There is no end to what you can do if you know how to weld. It's seriously more important to me than almost any skill I possess. I would almost rather be able to weld than to read.

That rack doesnt look like it would hold much weight mounted like that.

trons 12-26-07 12:15 PM

probably not but it doesn't look like it was meant to either

streetlightpoet 12-26-07 12:40 PM

reminds me of the racks done by Ahearne cycles.

cuz of the angle of the stays? I wonder if the weak angle is offset by the heavy duty stay--
is that rack aluminum or steel? Looks like anodized aluminum?
