Soma Fabrications Deluxe Porteur Front Rack For Bike (Silver Stainless Steel): The Soma Deluxe Porteur Bicycle Rack opens up options for cargo carrying over a small mini rack or a pannier rack, which only fit side bags. Zip-tie a wire basket and you have a solid way to carry groceries or your backpack. Or just use the platform and a bungee cord to carry a pizza or other other unusually sized cargo. Our Front bicycle racks for bikes fit most traditional road, CX, hybrid, and recreational mountain bikes with steel or aluminum front forks. Mounting weight to the front of the bike can make the bike more difficult to steer. Practice first with light loads. Tie down the load with bungee cords or Rok/Voile straps. Be careful that straps or cargo do not touch the spokes, tires or brakes. Since bikes come in all sizes and configurations, expect that you will need to do some “noodling” to get things to fit. Upper mounting tang may need to be bent to reach the fork crown hole. A different bolt may be needed than the one included. Fits forks between 365mm to 405mm tall (measured center of hub axle to top of crown). Not compatible with suspension forks. Cannot be installed on thru-axle skewer. Upper fork crown mounting tang may not be long enough for bikes like beach cruisers, chopper-style bikes, or Dutch city bikes with very slack headtube angles or forks with high fork offset. Axle plates may not be compatible with forks with oversized MTB fork blades or Boost spaced dropouts. Deck provides cargo space at 14.25"x12". --- About Us: Soma Fabrications focuses on practical, durable and unique bicycle goods and MTB parts for the “Every Day Cyclist”.

They started in 2001 making lightweight steel bicycle frames, but now also make handlebars, forks, racks, tires and various accessories.

• Deluxe Porteur Bike Front Rack: The Porteur Soma front rack is a great option over a standard pannier rack or mini rack. You can strap a basket to it and a specific bag you can easily find for this type of rack and you are all set! While no rack can fit every bike, we have designed a level of adjustability that will fit most 700c and 26” wheel up to 29” wheels bicycles. Should be tall enough to clear 29 x 2.3” tires.
• Light And Durable Construction: Though this front rack for bike is heavy duty, the front bike rack is lightweight, which can help reduce the overall weight of the bike when carrying gear. Fits best on touring bikes, road bike, gravel and hybrid bikes that have forks with steel/aluminum round or slightly oval legs.
• Maximum Load 22 Lbs. (10kg): With a weight capacity of up to 22 lbs, you can easily carry your essentials, including groceries, camping gear, or spare parts and tools.

• Easy Installation: If your bike is compatible with our front rack bike, the installation is very simple.

This is just for additional stability and safety).
