I have been using a VO Porteur Rack for a while now and I'm sold on loading my bike up front, but I've never used the full capacity of the Porteur Rack. The Courier Rack looks like it will comfortably carry my work bag or anything I might need for a weekend ride and still fit in with the styling of my bike without dominating its looks like the Porteur Rack does.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-17083050357461712882013-01-29T10:47:08.840-05:002013-01-29T10:47:08.840-05:00Salute!

The size of the ...Add my vote for the courier rack. The size of the platform seems to justify the extra load bearing potential of the lower struts compared to the constructeur rack. And if it can support a basket on occasion, I'm sold!<br /><br />Also another plus one for the rack attaching to the eyelets in front of the axle, not behind. Not being able to get the rack level when it is simultaneously A) mounted on the front eyelets and B) set properly close to the fork crown is what has kept me from mounting one of your lovely racks on my bike. <br /><br />With the Polyvalent and the Campeur both in the wild now I would imagine that there are enough forks out there with dual eyelets that it's better to just design it for that circumstance. Crossing the rack strut over the fork end to mount it on the rear eyelet for the sake of a level and close-in rack is an unsightly compromise.<br /><br />Keep up the awesome work with your products!SAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-38043934732850966392013-01-23T02:15:00.936-05:002013-01-23T02:15:00.936-05:00What kind of data do you have to back up your peda...What kind of data do you have to back up your pedal comparison?

I have hills and distance on rides and didn't feel like lugging a full porteur rack, but like being able to carry significant amounts of weight when necessary. This is facilitated by a large Wald basket zip-tied to the courier rack. The acid test for all portaging, apparently--the case of beer--is no problem. I do support the rack with some small turnbuckles from the rear bosses/eyelets to the fork blades, though, because the center tang doesn't control the lateral movement of loads sufficiently. I had meant to work up some form of quick release or wingnut attachment for the basket but just haven't gotten around to it/felt the need for it. Unless you are moving very heavy loads regularly, the porteur rack just seems like overkill to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-2032848138631978582013-01-22T10:48:03.378-05:002013-01-22T10:48:03.378-05:00At 6'5 I would love a 63cm, but a 65cm would c...At 6'5 I would love a 63cm, but a 65cm would change my world.
