When did etsy turn into ebay?
Bruh, that was a while ago
All the bad parts of a nitto in a lousy finish
Lots of color options too
plus they are all named after the doors songs
I hope those guys have a good since of humor and don’t take them into court
robby krieger just did an AMA. i used to love them but i only know about that because i woke up at 4 and couldnt fall back asleep so reddit it was
maybe they already asked him if it was cool
Nice one.
Good opportunity to post one of the best KITH sketches
I’m into these racks. Looks like they need a US distro…
i know a guy with a bike shop
What the hell, put it in three threads!
I’m conflicted about the flat-packability and the aluminum struts. Flat pack is nice if you have a travel bike. The separate struts are nice so you can customize your own strut length if you don’t have the 140mm bosses.
But if I’m paying $200ish for a rack, I want the entire thing brazed from chromoly, for ultimate strength and lack of wiggle.
I’m seeing a lot more than $200
Looks like that includes the bag but still steep!
Haaaaa yeah the rack thread would have been correct. Oops.
Ok, so I yolo’d one.
I mean, bag is $250 that makes the rack $300
Estimate Powder was $50 ea for a run (probably less)
5 bends
8 welded/brazed joints
2 rack tabs
1 rack slat
1 threaded attachment
2 struts cut and formed, with 2 holes drilled
2 nuts 2 bolts
I did it because I’m lazy and I just want a rack and a bag to show up at my door that fit together with zero dithering. I could spend hours trying to get a custom rack made or a custom bag or whatever but this is easy even if kinda too expensive.
Also just found a grip of play money in my paypal.
