I forgot to mention cutting oil. thanks for the use of the cutting oil, too! i think a bark bag weighs about 20-25 lbs. the bark bags laid flat on the rack(about the size of a bark bag), and i didnt try to push it back any further. i”m beginning to think that having a backstop brazed to the head tube is actually a good idea that mark had. also, i wouldnt need to get the rack template repainted, and better yet, i would have to remove the powder coat.

On my cycle truck it seemed like heavy loads were fine, but you do want to have them as far back as possible. That is the biggest problem with the rack that you are using, with no backstop it is difficult to strap things down all the way back. Perhaps we should add one and just have it re-painted.

I also played with how much should go on the front. so far, I think 2 bark bags is the limit. maybe more is possible, if you could put some more load on the back so it wouldnt flip up. thanks again for use of space/flux/brass/gas/designs/knowledge. this bike is truly awesome. so i got the new front wheel/drum brake on, and it works a lot better when you have the ability to stop with both wheels.
