Note:

• This rack is a lightweight accessory made to keep your luggage away from your headtube and front tire. All cargo should be tied to the handlebar and so very little weight should rest on the rack. For heavy cargo, racks like Nitto M18 are more suited.
• This rack will be made to order. Lead time can be as much as 2 weeks
• The One Front Rack height is measured from the top of the handlebar near the stem to the bottom of the rack.

Warning:

Entanglement of an object in your wheel could stop the rotation of the wheel, causing a loss of control or crash that could lead to serious injury. Always secure this rack, all cargo and luggage with strong straps. Make sure that straps and cargo do not interfere with the rotation of your wheels BEFORE attempting to ride, and periodically check for proper and safe clearance during every ride. By purchasing this rack, you agree that you will be using it solely at your own risk. Under no circumstances shall we have any liability to you for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of this product.

One Front Rack Sizing:

To simplify things, the One Front Rack height is measured from the top of the handlebars to the bottom of the rack.

Clearance:

Make sure you will have at least 2" of tyre clearance. For this measure the distance from the front tyre, or mudguard if fitted, and the top of your handlebar near the stem. Remember to factor in the suspension travel.

To size the One Front Rack for a certain handlebar bag:

1. Fill the bag with clothes fully, but so you can still close the lid.
2. Place the bag on the table and measure the distance from the table to the top strap, where it comes out from dowel or foam spacer if used
3. To that measurement just add 1 to 1.5 inches (2.5-4cm) to find your rack height for this particular bag. Round up if you find it to be in between sizes (e.g. if you need an 8.5" front rack then order 9")

Example: The Carradice Barley bag measures just over 6.5" (16.5cm) and it fits nicely on an 8" (20cm) rack. We need the handlebar bag to hold its own weight. The One Front Rack it's there to keep the bag away from the tyre and headtube.
