Unstable cargo that high up would make the bike very unstable never mind the extra weight! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12718#post-151510 Fri, 02 May 2014 10:34:03 +0000 SRD 151510@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>hmmm...Hamax website says 'up to 22kgs' (48 pounds) (which is about what my - tall - 7 year old weighs!) Small brother only weighs 30 pounds. </p> <p>Possibly MrSRD worrying too much, but I gather problem is that Hamax seat is pressing down on blackburn rack, which is lacking a bolt on one side, so then rubbing on mudguards. (I hadn't totally understood the prob when originally posting, since I hadn't seen bike). </p> <p>So, if bolt fixed then hamax would just bump top of rack. Or you could take off rack (don't really want to do that). I think Mr SRD's feeling is that if Hamax is that bendy, do we really want him in it? even if it is supposedly still under limit? </p> <p>Also, our Hamax is older than one on website. don't know if weight limits the same or not? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12718#post-151508 Fri, 02 May 2014 10:25:47 +0000 steveo 151508@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>SRD, how heavy is your little one? I've not had mine on the bike since I broke my MTB last summer and I'm worried he'll not be able to go on it now. He'll be very disappointed, especially if his little sister can go on it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12718#post-151487 Fri, 02 May 2014 09:23:19 +0000 wingpig 151487@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Now there are a mere two unused Blackburn racks perched atop my kitchen cupboards: the back end of the broken one (which I was going to use to make an EX2-extra dog-leg-equivalent-bit for others to keep panniers out of spokes) and a bent one I found int he bike station which couldn't take a seat but would do as a pannier-capable spare. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12718#post-151485 Fri, 02 May 2014 09:12:22 +0000 SRD 151485@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks wingpig! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12718#post-151469 Fri, 02 May 2014 07:49:03 +0000 wingpig 151469@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'll aim for about there about then.
