Half way between a full sized touring rack and a minimalist rack, the Tumbleweed Macro Pannier rack can take small panniers and a top load. A relatively unique option which can run on either the front or the rear of a touring bike. Details The Tumbleweed Macro Pannier Rack is a rugged, versatile rack designed to carry heavy loads and larger panniers, ideal for extended expeditions. Building on ten years of proven Pannier Rack design, the Macro increases strength and adds dual mounting flexibility without sacrificing simplicity. It's our best rack yet. The Macro features wider support legs, a secondary mounting rail, and two mounting locations for panniers. You also get Tumbleweed's signature triple mounting bosses for water bottles or small dry bags. All of this adds just two ounces over the Pannier Rack. Specs Dimensions and weight: Platform heights: 355mm and 380mm (center of lower eyelet to center of platform) Width: 120mm Length: 310mm 10mm diameter tubing Weight: 593 grams without hardware, 772 grams with all mounting hardware, bolts, and uncut 350mm struts Capacity and mounting: Total load limit: 65 lbs (including 5 lbs per set of triple bosses) Supports traditional-style panniers with elastic lower hook attachment point Works with a variety of modern pannier styles and adjustable hardware Installation and warranty Requirements The load on the rack platform must be centered over the rack, not overhanging or cantilevered off the end of the platform. You’ll need threaded load-bearing mounting points at the dropouts and seatstays or fork crown to properly mount our racks on your bike. If you don't have upper rack bosses, seat clamps with integrated rack mounts are available. If your steel fork doesn't have upper bosses, we sell a rack adaptor that attaches to the center hole of your fork crown (depending on the style of your fork).
