The design is ancient. I have a 10 dollar cruiser bike basket with almost the same mount . Been around for decades. Kudos to these guys for modernizing it into a rack

Yep back, tithe 70's. It was good then and still is.

@wesdrum1999 2 года назад

Cannondale made handlebar bags in the late 70s thru the 80's with a similar rack. It just came out from the bar and hooked through the top of their bags.

THIS IS IT!! Been looking for a rack for my Ritchey Outback. The issue is the fork crown. And the easiness of taking it away so quickly is a game changer. THX!!

@madisondeans5566 2 года назад

This rack really caught my eye a few weeks ago,so glad for the review!As usaul very well done!Russ plz.don't ever change your style or lo-key highly informative content!🤗

@alexmurdock9101 2 года назад

I also have an Outback, and got the Swood twisted rack this spring. 100 grams, so a whole lot lighter. It supports a bag, but no shelf so can't strap misc stuff to it. I think PLP reviewed that already.

@thombatty1950 2 года назад

This checks so many boxes for me. Front load, check. Easily moved from bike to bike, check. Support a small startup, check. I will be looking at this for my bikes that don't already have a front rack or basket.

Great design. I wouldn’t ever put a permanent rack on my gravel bike but this changes things.

@miarobv Год назад

I bought the Jack Rack based on this review and I’m very happy with it. I bought it with bike camping on my Bike Friday in mind and It worked perfectly. Best of all it is easy to put on and take off. It also came beautifully boxed with straps and accessories.

@thisisadebrown Год назад

In my opinion, Brompton came up with the best idea for carrying a bag on the front with its slot on bracket that attaches to the front of the bike. Therefore it doesn’t impede the steering as it glides with the frame rather than the handlebars. I appreciate that to clear a lot of cables and stuff you would have to have a higher, or should I say longer bracket, which would approach leverage on the frame, but it really is a good system

@bradstone5408 2 года назад

Absolutely love the design and the looks of this rack!

@chickensmack 2 года назад

I have drop bars on my bike for the specific reason, that with several straps and some paracord, I suspend my quilt and sleeping pad between those drops. This looks like it could save me lots of time in loading my rig on camping trips. Thanks for sharing. As always, good stuff.

@danielsotelo3942 2 года назад

Glad its back in a modern form, great job! I've already recommended your stem rack to several riders who do the new long distance riding where they pack everything in line with the bike to be more aerodynamic, instead of the old side bag paniers.. I will highly suggest to make some kind of universal light bracket attachment at the very front, as many of these riders have hub generator lights like SON, as Paris-Brest-Paris randonneur type riding is becoming very popular.

@mattdelcomyn8012 2 года назад

This is just what I’ve been looking for to sometimes turn a hardtail into a commuter with a basket.

@neilbrooming3237 Год назад

On this review, just received mine in the post, and it’s fitted! I have also setup my Restrap Rando (small) bag on there, and so far this looks to be the perfect fit and combo for my level of luggage needs. Nice and minimalist whilst flexible enough to my needs. Thanks for highlighting this one Russ!

@zer0kelvin212 2 года назад

looks great! I like the minimalism and the welds. But I carry a lot of weight so I prefer some kind of nitto style front rack that mounts to the crown and fork.

@andrewturner943 2 года назад

This is too perfect. I can tie down the bulky camp stuff with their bungee straps and put a basket net on top for quicker access stuff. AND take everything off when I don't need it.

@greenfeetoutdoors2779 2 года назад

@myblackboxrocks 2 года назад

Sweet, my gravel bike has a carbon fork and I've been looking for a stable front-load system for ages, this looks just the ticket

@shmonklong 2 года назад

I want this but for side panniers. Would be pretty useful for carrying coolers

@garyp.7501 2 года назад

I have an old, 70's front bag with a similar attachment points. The Front bag is great for holding snacks, and/or camera/phone etc. Not a lot of weight on the front wheel, I prefer to load the back when carrying a lot of stuff, but if you already have a rear bag full of cr*p, this will be a nice addition.

@felixjackson2670 2 года назад

@YoSpiff 2 года назад

Looks promising. Some similarities to the method that Rhode Gear used for their handlebar bags. I really liked their stuff. Im surprised nobody has adopted that system for modern use on 31.8 bars .

@MountainVisions 2 года назад

Cannondale, Rhode Gear... Etc. I loved my cannondale bag. Got one and it didn't fit my new 31mm bars, so I modified it with clamps and JB weld to work. Works great. Cost $25 total. No bag on my cables or hands, very stable (actually totally immobile, like a salsa front bag mount) and easy to access. I tried to bend it first, then considered welding one, but ultimately, JB weld was sufficient and it still allows me to use bike lights on my Trek 9600 drop bar gravel grinder (one on the fork, one on a drop down vs rise up bar extension). the drop drop down is to secure my front roll bag for bike packing. I'm a cheap SOB. I rigged it so I wouldn't have a bouncy bag on my cables. Works great. 6lbs of gear move an inch with a compression burrito and some voile straps.

@TheBuffjam 2 года назад

I had one of those in the 1970's. I still use it.

@event4216 2 года назад

Looks like someone has made a bracket I thought of about this summer. I tied backpack in front of handlebars and wanted something to support it. My idea was to buy a piece of thick wire and bend it. Of course, this is more elegant and refined product.

@jarjar3143 2 года назад

Wonder if it would fit on the condor bar . Running a salsa (clamp on) sausage roll type right now which just fits the only straight part of the bars nearest the stem .

@daftpeasant1519 2 года назад

Carradice used to make a simpler version of this 45 years ago, for fitting a handlebar bag to, without cluttering your bars up with straps. It held the bag about an inch forward of the bars, so you could still use the full width of the tops of drop handlebars, for your hands. It was steel coated with white plastic. I still have one in the garage somewhere along with its cotton duck handlebar bag.

Can I ask what the reach is for the handlebars with the green tape? Looks ideal for me, my current bar is like 125 and I feel a little too stretch out on the hoods.

@robbchastain3036 2 года назад

Thanks for showing us all these racks and do-dads, Russ, a lot of fun to have a lot of options. Signed, a party pacer by age, not choice. And O how I grin, just thankful to still be in the game. And maybe you could do a vid on how to upgrade a Free Spirit. I know there's more speed in that bike, somewhere.

@axlent123 2 года назад

I just bought my first gravel the other day. And I’ve not been much into cycling in the last several years, so I don’t know exactly what equipment I want to add. But this seems kinda cool… I’m even thinking that I could mount my GoPro to it connected by a pole or something to get backward facing shots..

@jamm13dodger Год назад

So just over a year later mine has arrived and it's looking great. Any advice on what bag would be best to fit on it?

@capmidnite 2 года назад

Okay, on second thought it is a pretty ingenious design. If I had the mounts on my fork, I would still prefer a dedicated front mini rack. If not, it is a cool minimalist design and has less straps flopping around than a cradle system. My one concern is the longevity of the soft parts with day to day use. That is, the whole thing is held in tension by the elastic band and the stem strap. Sure, when brand new the rack can meet the load specs but eventually fabric frays and elastic deteriorates. How often would these items need refurbishing and the cost? (more of a rhetorical question that depends on how much you use/abuse your gear, I guess)

@19frog68 2 года назад

Great review. What do you call those bungee cords? They are also my favorites. I buy them in multi packs at Home Depot but end up with several other bungees that I don't need. I have not found them sold separately. Always enjoy your content.

@yutubl 2 года назад

A very easy & light weight bike front rack to be fixed on the steering handlebar. For more weight should be put on the front rack I recommend putting a larger typical dutch style bike front racks to be attached below the steering handlebar at the vertical front frame shaft so that the front rack does move sidewards when you are steering left/right.

One of my favorite accesories of all time is a pair of Lynze Femto F/R lights. they are durable, work, look good, and every single part of that light is pure fuction.......the best part?, the rubber "straps" lock of to one side much tighter, that way the strap never falls off or becomes detached. I cannot stand procucts that dont have time for this simple idea.

Would this work on an older Rivendell Atlantis?… Would the quill stem be a problem?… Would it support a Swift Zeitgeist bag? Would I still be able to mount my stem bag? Thank you Russ, for finding this and showing it to us! The Atlantis doesn’t have fork mounts and has Paul Motolite brakes… These two factors make “finding” a front rack kind of limiting
