Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

Maybe have a look at hub jub.

@Josh will love this because of the the shallow DOF

Thanks, managed to find what will hopefully fit the bill from Spa Cycles.

"Heart eye emoji"

I've just picked up a nice Velo Orange front rack but it's a little bit too short on the old a/c length.

I need two plates that will be able to be connected between the bottom struts of the rack and the front rack/mudguard eyes. The top of the rack will fit the crown but isn't adjustable at all. Any thoughts?

Anyone got a recommendation for a front rack to fit my 1987 Rockhopper? 26" wheels, cantis and no mid leg eyelets.

Want to take front panniers and support a bag or attach a bag.

I believe Surly Nice rack, Slackburn outpost, Soma or Pealgo would full fill both those needs I think assuming you have mudguard mounts and a drilled crown.

If not a cheaper way of doing it would be with two racks like this:

Got a pelago rack on a 90s 26" kona and use it with front panniers and plus an additional bag on the platform. Works a charm. Recommend.

Pelago commuter rack. Every time.
Fitting can be a bit fiddly, but they are really stable once they're on.

Loaded up with tools for a thing, with my new bags it's just perfect for everything now.

Minimalistic! Did you try to upload a pic larger than 3 MB by any chance?

Nice, people lacing their archetypes the wrong way around seems to become a more common issue though 🤓 @tijs

It's an epidemic! Eh, they work as well the other way around. ¯\(ツ)/¯
