I first read that quote on the under the header Singlespeed & Fixed Gear over at Bike Forums .
I'm 51 and riding fixed, not sure what that says about me...
At my age I simply can't resist a nice rack...
Axiom Streamliner Road DLX
Axiom Streamliner Road DLX
The rack tabs mount onto the axle.
The rack mounts to the brake caliper bolt.
Simple mounting system on the panniers.
The panniers lock into place.
The narrow design reduces wind resistance and negative effects on handling.
Having the ability to bring essentials along is quite freeing on a bicycle.
A fixed gear bike for the over 45 crowd. At my age, I'm more about function than form and this bike is quite often my bike of choice when I'm doing long distance rides. I've enjoyed many 100 km + rides on this bike.
Who makes this rack?
ReplyDeleteFixed it thanks, the rack is the Axiom Streamliner DLX.
ReplyDeleteVery nice, how long have you had the Axiom? Thanks for adding your photos to the Commute By Bike pool!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Since June, I first rode with this set up when I was on the caboose team for the Alberta Ride To Conquer Cancer.
ReplyDeleteI have the same rack and want to put it on my fixed gear bike. How did you get it to fit with the bolts?
ReplyDeleteI simply drilled out the holes to make them large enough for the axle to slide through.
ReplyDeleteHave you had any issues with sag during a fully loaded ride? Some people claim that the metal bracket gets bent and the two attachments rotate down, causing wheel rub and failure. I think they just don't use Loctite, but maybe it really is that poorly made.
ReplyDeleteI did not have any issues but heard of people that did. They seem to have braced the mounting tab on the latest version.
