Front Rack
« on: November 06, 2010, 06:14:30 pm »
I'm looking for a front rack for my commuter bike. (It's what I ride when I'm not touring) Becase it's a commuter bike, I don't want to spend a lot of money on it. (It has a side pull type of brake)  Does anyone have any ideas?

What sort of loads will you carry on it?

and you may want to clarify, "I don't want to spend a lot of money..."

Well, I bought cheap bags before only to find out they don't hold up very well. I would love to find a good plan for a DIY with Corrplast but as of yet, I haven't found one I like.

We cannot read your mind, only your words. If you care to answer the questions, you might get some relevant ideas.

One of the country-type stores (now mail order IIRC) had a sign that was something like, "The experience of quality lingers long after the memory of the price."

That said, I've got a Tubus Tara front rack and it's great.  Grab some Ortlieb Sportspacker (plus) panniers to go on them, and you'll not regret the purchases.  Or find a $30 rack with $50 bags every 1-2 years.
