Porteur Rack

A Porteur conversion rack for the Nitto M12. This is being built by Alistair Spence for my Kogswell P/R. I'm helping with a little of the brazing and we worked together on the design.

  • Another (slightly underexposed) view of the first load.
  • Side view when loaded.  I think that the lines on the rack came out nicely, Alistair did a really nice job.
  • Mounted, but unloaded.
  • The porteur rack is removed (just two bolts) and a handlebar rack remains.  It is very quick to install and remove the rack.<br />
<br />
One with good eyes might notice that I now have downtube shifters.  I need to figure out a good routing for the cables from barend shifters that works with either rack installed.  The downtube shifters make things much simpler for now, so I'm going to give them a go.
  • A closeup of the rack/dropout interface.  Alistair scupted the racks "dropouts" around the QR spindle, but it is also solidly bolted to the fork.  It isn't going anywhere.
  • A closeup showing how my light fits.  There is just enough room between the handlebar rack and porteur rack for the light.<br />
<br />
Normally I'd run the light up near the front of the rack, but I need to put my bike on the bus regularily.  The bus rack design doesn't work with anything mounted forward of my fender.
  • A view from the front with both racks mounted.  You can see how the headlight works out.
  • Another closeup of the "spigot" interface between the porteur rack and the handlebar bag rack.  The porteur rack has 3 studs which fit into sleeves on the handlebar bag rack.
