\nI ride this Rivendell Clem Smith Jr. for\u00a0my chore.\u00a0As I have 2 kids, picking them up and dropping them off is an important job in my family. I changed some parts and settings the other day. Let me show you my new setup.
\n\"\"
\nThis is the current setup.
\n\"\"
\nFirst, I changed the handlbar. This one is the original handlebar that came with the complete Clem Smith Jr. It is similar to the Nitto b602F bosco bar<\/a>. This has big high up-rise and back sweep position.<\/p>\n

The biggest modification is that I installed the Nitto Rivendell big back rack<\/a> with a child seat.
\n\"\"
\n\ufffcThe maximum load weight is about 20kg. Technically it doesn\u2019t support my kids weight. \ufffcTherefore I used the Surly Rack Rear Upper Kit for reinforcement.\u00a0Nitto is a trusted company and they do a lot of durability performance testing, though.
\n\"\"
\nThe Clem Smith Jr has 3 rear rack mounts. I used all of them.
\n\"\"
\nI feel very satisfied with the result. I hope my wife and kids love this bike.<\/p>\n

There is another dad bike I want to show you.<\/p>\n
