Can someone pls make this post a stickie?
I can't understand the appeal of putting weight over the front wheel and messing up your handling.That give the implications that the bicycles weren’t designed to run with a front rack in the first place.
Biggest factor; the fork (on top of its design to) take the weight leaving the frames free of rack keeping it nice and livery, as well as a better weight distribution compare to the traditional set up of rear rack only.
Weight distribution mean it actually easier to climb without the front wheel attempting to lift away from the tarmac, and greater traction while descending.
