Post by ton »

looking for a tiny front rack to carry a small bag, rather than using a bar mounted back.

any idea's greatly appreciated.

Do you mean the Nitto front rack? Attaches to old brake fittings, and is a bit spendy...

Salsa used to do the Minimalist front rack but dont seem to be able to get it now. Specialized did a rip-off of the nitto but you had to buy a rear rack too in the set...

that is what i was thinking of. looks pricey. might have to rethink and get a drybag strapped to my bars somehow.

Salsa one was stopped many years ago, which was a shame. Wish they bring it back though!

How about this?

This any good? May be a bit heavy but will be bomb proof

I have used one of these racks on my Fargo for road touring / gravel riding. Use it for bulky items rather then weighty ones and found it works fine for that. Its cheap too :-bd

Edit- this one ...http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/mobile/alloy ... prod14021/
