what a FANTASTIC video. i have an older style bike like yours and it's been tough for me to find a video demonstrating the installation of a front rack for a bike with caliper brakes and a fork without eyelets. most racks are fairly pricey with no guarantee that they'll fit my bike so i really appreciate this demonstration of using materials from ikea

I was very nervous putting my brand new beach cruiser on this rack. kzread.infoUgkxG6JIgwJhur8_Rg8UeQ3EmePzi_wSncL8 But after reading many reviews I decided to get this one and take a chance. When arrived it was very simple to adjust and put together. I also added spike tape over the metal hooks before securing and tightening the straps, and no scratches. I also purchased the top bar made by the same company so that my cruiser sits straight on the rack without having to turn upside down. Extra bungee cords are used to secure the front wheel from flapping and even piece of mind knowing your bike is secure. Definitely recommend...

Hey Gary, I want to mount my basket lengthways, but I'm worried the struts will be wider than the basket than mounting sideways like you have. Any ideas?

@garysprojects

2 жыл бұрын

You would have to change where it bends, the basket will sit further away from the wheel if you shorten the width of the basket

@bbaggins3672

2 жыл бұрын

@@garysprojects True that. I was thinking also that it might work this way: each strut makes a triangle shape, with its tip comprised of both eyelets bolted into the same mounting hole. The base of each triangle strut sits up against the basket. Each triangle-shaped strut stays on its own side of the wheel and doesn't straddle the wheel. Does that makes sense? It felt hard to explain. Let me know if you can see any issues with that approach?

@garysprojects

@@bbaggins3672 might be okay! I think maybe you might get a bit of side play since it’s dependent on how u hold the triangle parts but would probably work if you secured the basket strongly. Only way is to try!
