Nitto R10

[Pam Bikes]

Thinking about getting a R10 as a bag support - for a small Fab's Chest.  This is on my back up Schwinn.  I set it up just like my Betty Foy in case I ever need any parts.  Concerns are that I have a 26.6 seatpost and it says 26.8.  I guess I could get a shim.  Would it hold?  How much is the weight limit for the rack?  And I'm not sure if I have enough seat post to put the clamp.  Right now, I have the pec dec but if I put too much in the bag, it starts to sag and I don't want it dragging on the tire.

Here is a pic of one on Vince’s Clem, from the staff bikes area of the Riv site. I think the issue you would run in to is that the down slope of the R-10 would impinge on the tire on such a small bike. If you can find one, the Nitto R-50 might work better - that is the QR bag holder, but you would need to use a saddle with regular unsprung rails, and as vertical as possible at the back - a B17 works, but a Cambium doesn’t. I do that sometimes with a Slimsucker bag on my 47cm Roadini

Pam, you might try a trick I've used to stiffen the bag enough to prevent sagging. Get your hands on a sheet of corrugated plastic - the same stuff that is used for political campaign yard signs (they should soon be readily available for no cost ; )       

Cut the plastic sheet to fit the interior width of the bag and long enough to cover the bottom and extend up onto the front wall of the bag. The corrugations need to run across the width of the cut sheet so you can fold it to curve up the front wall. The sheet should be sized to fit slightly snug to prevent it shifting around inside the bag. It's a low cost, light weight solution that repurposes  bit of plastic that is otherwise destined for the land fill.

Your Schwinn looks like a sweet little bike in its own right.

Pam, unfortunately your combination of chunky seatpost binder, old-school seatpin and sandwich clamp, and the springs on your saddle aren't doing you any favors in regards to freeing up what already limited space you have. I seriously doubt the clamp for the R10 will find space on your post. And, as others have mentioned, the design of the R10 would likely dip down too far to avoid interfering with your wheel. It's a shame there are no other braze-ons along the length of your seat stays. One option may be to find a small rack like a Nitto Mark's rack, and see if you can find rack struts long enough to reach down to the rear dropouts, and then either fashion a diving board to the brake bridge (where you have your fender clip mounted), or use another set of rack struts with p-clamps around your seat stays.

Thanks all for your collective wisdom.  I looked at it again and don't think it would work either.  And the R50 won't help much since I need help on the bottom.  I'll try Steve's coroplast idea to see if that helps.  I was trying to just have one big bag on this bike.  But when I carry stuff it gets heavy and sags.  I may add the coroplast and out a front bag on or just make sure I'm w/someone else w/more carrying capacity.  

I never have a problem carrying stuff on my Betty.  I'm so used to having 2 big bags and a rear rack.  And then the sky is the limit literally.  That and the 50 lb weight limit of the rack or whatever it's supposed to be.  But I won't go far with that much weight anyway.

They also have the adapter for the fender mount that was mentioned earlier,

I have both a Nitto NR-20 and Nitto NR-21, which may suit your needs. I may be willing to part with one of them ;). They are brand new and unobtanium.

I got mine from across the pond: https://sprockets.uk.com/nitto-nr-21-canti-rear-rack-mount/

Keep in mind, there are two different versions depending on your brake bridge mounting orientation. NR-20 is for vertically oriented mount, NR-21 is a threaded mount meant to go straight through (like a fork crown does). Also, these are meant for 26" wheels.

Also, here's my NR-20 shown mounted to my 26" Atlantis, so you can see how it works with my fenders and mounted to the rear bridge. With all the clearance I have, I had to use a 25mm aluminum spacer to get it to fit, and fortunately everything worked out perfect with my fender lines. I don't know if this will help you, Pam, but I thought I'd put the info out there so you can make a more informed decision.

Pam, I agree the R10 probably won't work, but wanted to offer:  Ive got a currently-unmounted one lying around.  If it would help, I could use it along with one of the smaller bikes in the garage to mock up something similar, and then take any  measurements you might need.

Also - and again, this might not help but mentioning to complete the thought - there's this slightly different version offered by simworks, that i found in a different, recent discussion about the R10.

The Nitto RBW51 or R14 could be perfect for your use case. 

Blue Lugs product page for the R14 even has pictures of it mounted to similar bikes using a rear bag.
