nitto pannier racks on a 20" folding bike

[Thomas Lynn Skean]

Anyone ever put a nitto pannier rack on a 20" wheel folding bike? If so, how'd it turn out? Heel strike with normal panniers? What specific model of bike/rack/panniers were involved? What size bike? Any special installation hints/tips?

Any info would be appreciated. I'm contemplating getting a nitto pannier rack for my Hillbornes and possibly my Bike Friday New World Tourist.

Thanks!

Yours,

I know Nitto makes a rack for Bromptons (BM-R3), so they may make one for 20” folding bikes as well. Failing that, I know Tubus/Racktime makes one for 20” folding bikes.

Nitto also makes the R15, which looks like the smallest of their “full size” racks. I’d think that might work on a 20” bike reasonably well.

Here are photos of Bike Friday Folding Rear Rack (black) and Nitto Big Back Rack (silver).
Bike Friday rack puts your bag closer to your body than Nitto.

Actually, I've done the opposite thing, i.e., put Bike Friday rack on my Hunqapillar.
The strut which connects rack and seat-stays were too long, so I bought pieces of metal at local hardware store.

Hope it helps.
