Front rack suggestions

Ty-Rap for me, metal cored tip-ties which are a touch stiffer but seem to hold up much better. Presume you can get them on eBay, I got mine from a family member working in an F1 garage so had them “going spare”.

I've still got bags of short ties for the price of postage

Does anyone have a medium pelago rack for sale or can direct me to the best deal on a new one? Preferably silver.

holy shit, those ty-raps, want! i have found there is a huge difference in quality between different ‘normal’ zip ties. some are incredibly brittle

Planning to fit a BLB chrome front rack and Restrap Rando bag to the front of my bike.

I'll need to mount my SON Edelux front light to the rack somehow - can anyone share images of a neat solution? I've seen spare chainring being used, but it can look a bit rough.

The light mount is at the bottom of the light, rather than the inverted option, unfortunately.

Edit, it looks like I could use one of these Nitto lamp holders - neat

They're the neatest

Someone must have a second hand front rack for sale? Rando style such as Nitto M18 or the BLB rack.

None available online at the moment.

There is one on eBay atm:

yeah I'll do unspeakable things to acquire a Nitto M18 in silver atm

Not sure which BLB one you're after but I've just put one up in the classifieds...

I’ve got a silver Nitto M18 in a box somewhere if one of you want it? @MrBaklava @platypus

(I’m in se21)

Oh, how much are you looking for?

I'm also looking for a Nitto m18 if anyone has another going.

Just looked on Freshtripe and they're how much these days?! I swear I only paid about £50 quid for it a few years ago…

It's totally unused, but whatever really, a £10 donation to the forum and £30?

Yes they've massively jumped up in price. Not sure why.

10+30 sounds ideal, I'll take it. I can collect this week. Will PM, thanks!

Closest I could find, 121 GBP shipped to Cambridge

See above.

Cheaper to order from Cambridge: https://freshtripe.co.uk/nitto-m1-front-rack/

Quite pricey in London though: https://tokyobike.co.uk/products/nitto-x-bluelug-front-rack-m-1b

Edit: Freshtripe have M18s too https://freshtripe.co.uk/nitto-m18-front-rack/

Horrible zombified dredge of a post but how did you get on with this rack? The Blackburn Outpost on our tandem has been a bit unreliable and never particularly secure. Trying to work out if I should gamble with Brexit import fees (fuck Brexit) and buy the Grand Expedition.

I never actually fitted it for reasons - if you're anywhere near London you're welcome to come over and dry fit mine before you shell out.

Ahh, I'm afraid I'm over Bristol way! But thanks for letting me know

Shoot me any questions if you want to see it mounted up on anything!

Hi guys, I'm currently looking for a front, lowrider rack. You seem to be liking very much the VO Campeur, but they just told me it's discontinued and I can't find any stock online. Do you know good alternatives (the Nitto Campee is OOO too..) ? Thanks !

tubus tara?
