Wanted - Front rack like a surly 8 pack.
I am looking for a front rack to fit on my surly straggler. Ideally something similar to the surly 8 pack but at a more reasonable price. I just need something big enough to strap a drybag too and I won't be carrying panniers.
Thanks all.
Thanks all.

Re: Wanted - Front rack like a surly 8 pack.
Interested in this, I sold ( stupidly) my Salsa minimalist rack last year,
And would like to replace it, all I've found is the specialised pizza rack,
One by origin 8 from the states and another u/s offering from Soma,
The latter 2 having no Uk stock, there is a cheap offering on eBay via
Several Chinese sites which is cheap but would be dubious as too it's
Longevity
Edit...I forgot, old man mountain racks can be adapted to fit but are still a
Bit spendy and there's a lovely one from Tumbleweed bikes that's in the
Surly price league....

I have no idea how they can all be so expensive. It's madness!

Macskive.....my thoughts exactly...
Techno mail, yes the only reasonable option I've seen however it's quite
Large, fine if you were delivering Hovis ( other brands are available)
I'd only be carrying my tent and a dry bag

Plenty of room to pick up a pizza for later or a crate of larger. Or bothFat tyre kicker wrote: ↑Wed Aug 14, 2019 10:13 am Macskive.....my thoughts exactly...

Thanks Si.
The metro porteur rack looks like a reasonable option.

This is the most reasonable option I can find:
