RadMission / Re: handlebar riser for Radmission

I use this one. Cheap $6.50, fits perfect

How much height did you add? I'd experiment further if I knew how to extend all those cables.



Maybe 3-4 inches, cables were no problem.

I bought this one for my RR6 and was able to install it, but I couldn't get the original riser (the tappered part) to lay flush against where it meets the frame and it had too much play in it. I tightened the long center screw as tight as i could get it too. Once I removed it and put back on the original stock one, it fit flush and had no play. I might need to try a different one.

I guess the rr6 has a different stem. Fit perfect on my two missions

@Hama - I don't have the same bike as you, but here's what I did on my Rover 5 for a trunk. I used a motorcycle trunk. It could possibly work for you. There's some other options in this thread as well.

Looking for some options, if you have any pictures, links, please post them,  I see everyone with rear racks but nothing on them, lol

My Radrunner won't take panniers. I bought this when I ordered a Six Three Zero in August. I had more regard for the panniers than the bike, so I sent the bike back and kept the panniers.

Thanks for all the info. That does look great, and like you said you still have the rack.

On a single-layer rack, they could be lifted off as luggage. The Radmission has two layers an inch apart. Squeezing the panniers between the tubes and setting the clips was a challenge. I guess that was a couple of weeks ago. Today I realized they were backwards. I had to finesse them out and back in.

When I load heavy stuff like groceries onto a bike on a side stand, the panniers are low enough that I don't have to worry about stability. Each main compartment will hold a 15-can box of beer with plenty of room left over, in addition to four zip pouches and two elastic mesh ones. The top of the rack is still available, and the panniers came with a strap long enough to secure my 4-gallon gas can.

The rack is strong enough to support the plywood that supports my layback seat post, which gives me a seating position like that of the legendary Charles Terront when, riding for Michelin in 1891, he completed the 743-mile Paris-Brest-Paris race in 71 hours, pedaling a 48-pound, single-speed Humber on unpaved roads. (It had a chain guard and a front brake.)

Of 280 entrants, only 1 was anywhere close. He was another national champion who came in 9 hours later. He was riding for Dunlop. If he'd won, the press would probably have found out he was on Mechelins.

You might notice that the frame and the front rack are not the same shade of orange. I ordered both in "red." I checked my order daily. For three days, both items were listed as red. On the fourth day, Radpower had changed the frame to white without consulting me.

I'll probably mount a larger basket on the front rack. It's good for unsqueezables like eggs and milk.

Thanks for all the info. That does look great, and like you said you still have the rack

RadMission / Re: RadMission assembly tips?

[3] If you bought the REAR RACK, you don't need to remove the rear wheel to install it. Use loctite with the original frame bolts but the rack also came with replacement bolts loctite ready. I didn't use it because I wanted a fresh one (not dry).

I realize this thread is a year old but I'm hoping someone may still respond.  The original frame bolts are too short as well as the bolts shipped with the rack.  There is approx 1 inch gap between the frame and rack on both sides.  If I bolt one side of the rack to the frame there will be 2 inch gaps between the frame and the rack on the other side.  If I buy longer bolts will the rack magically expand to fit the frame?

Your doing something wrong? Post some pictures so we can see.

RadMission / Re: Upgrades
« on: October 29, 2022, 08:14:37 PM »
      I appreciate your response of:   I installed a RockShox Recon Silver RL on my Rad Mission
It works good!!!
Installed the 27.5 100mm 9x100mm 42mm offset 160 disc brake
I had to install spacers on caliper otherwise easy upgrade.
      Kinda pricey, any idea where can I find a less expensive fork/shock set up?

I put these on from Amazon. Bucklos 27.5, a lot better ride now.

Was it a direct fit?
