Is it possible to fit a pizza rack to a bike with canti brakes? Looks like it might interfere where it mounts in the fork below the crown race? Really don’t want to swap to v brakes of I don’t have too (I know, better etc, but these stop just fine and look cool 🤣)

If so.. recommendations please! I don’t have eyelets midway up the fork so would have to have longer legs to reach the mudguard eyelets..

Cheers!

I think it is possible but you may need to change the position of your straddle cable, depending on what type you are using now. You can move the pizza rack forwards and backwards a bit.

Anyway pizza racks, only mount to mid-fork eyelets so if you don't have them you couldn't use a pizza rack. I assume you are referring to the specialized pizza rack and not using the name for a generic type of rack?

Thanks both, I sort of meant the specialized one but also generic front rack.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
