I still use front racks, I still think they're better. BUT now they're locktite'd to shit and have extra saftey straps after a lesson learned the hard way about poor rack design

@spotter thankyou for the loctite suggestion I will be doing that before riding with the new rack. Please elaborate on the safety straps.

safety straps

Backup tying the rack back to the head tube or bars in case the fork top bolt comes adrift eg from vibration—worst failure mode is it hinging forwards from the lower fork mounts and fouling the wheel, then you are immediately over the top
