how long does water stay OK in a plastic bottle?

The rack has a loading platform to which cargo can be strapped but most of the time it's just the little trunk riding up there. Key is the diagonal strut, a "false bottom" and a flexing Perspex (Plexiglass) plate pressing down the pannier hooks. Before I had that the boom of the rack began to buckle on rough terrain under heavy load. This is the stuff the bike industry just doesn't understand and the reason why many offroad bike-packers have their MTB loaded too front-heavy. You have to build it yourself. Luckily one of my biking buddies is a machinist and has an industrial grade milling machine. There is no interface to a rack on the bike, so it has to be one that only grabs the saddle pole. Compared to the old-school racks, with stays down to the wheel-axle area of the frame, where another person could sit (on the rack I mean) while you rode the bike, this is not good. But 10kg is better than nothing. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |
