So through the magic of Google Translate I've been checking out some Japanese bike sites. Anyone tried a Nitto NR-20 rack?  It's kind of short and squatty.  Looks versatile.

I've been tempted by that rack before, also, but have not ever seen one in person.  Alexscycle.com has it and sells it, and will take your US dollars, if you wanted to take a flyer on it.

I've looked at the NR-20 and 21. Both are available through Soma Fab.

This is a rear bag support????



I swear, that looks like a front rack to me.  Where's the "prong" thing go, if it's a rear rack?

it mounts to the underside of the fender mount on the seat stay brace.

Brake bridge "fender" hole, rear canti studs. I wonder if it requires
special rack bolts for the cantis, looks like it?

The fender hole is underneath the brake bridge on my bikes.

That's where the NR-20 mounts to. If you closely to the photo, there's a slot that would fit between brake bridge (underside fender mount) and the fender. Stays in place with the same bolt to mount the fender.

Soma appears to also carry Mark's Platrack made by Nitto as well.

The rear rack in this photo is not exactly the same one (I think it's made by Toei, not Nitto), but you get idea of how it looks when it's mounted on a bike.

That's a beauty! Wonder how it attaches to the seat stays - 2nd bridge?

Seems a little rack like that would be a nice perch for a big saddlebag (i.e. Sackville Medium.)

Cheers,
Alex

The NR-20 mounts to the underside of the brake bridge. The NR-21 has a threaded post like the M-12.
