For those of you not subscribed to our newsletter, I wanted to share this new release. We now offer an adaptor for the Randonneur® Rack that enables you to install the rack on saddles with wider rails such as Brooks. We’ve shot a video that shows how this works and its available now.

Here's an excerpt from this weeks news letter:

Announcing Arkel's Randonneur® Rack Adaptor For Saddles With Wide Rails! 

In Arkel's ongoing effort to provide the best innovations to our customers, we've created a Randonneur® Rack Adaptor for saddles with wider rails (Brooks, Selle Anatomica, Specialized and others). The challenge with these saddles is the width between the seat rails. We've solved this with an adaptor that is much wider at the quick release point, where it attaches to the seat rails. The adaptor can be positioned vertically along the upper back part of the seat rails, or horizontally and closer to the seat post for when riders want to position the saddle further back (in the direction of the rear wheel.) This adaptor will fit all Brooks saddles that do not have coil springs suspension.
