[SOLD] Stainless cantilever / V-brake-mount front rack / bag holder [SOLD]

[wafter]

One stainless steel front rack that mounts to cantilever / v-brake bosses on the front fork. Rack is around 125mm wide, 300mm total depth inc. mounts, horizontal portion is around 170mm long.

Decent condition, some glue residue along front edge but should be easy enough to remove.

A nice piece of kit but it doesn't play well with my cable routing and I've only just started on my cycle luggage journey / have not yet ascended to the heights of bar bags

Offered for collection from North Oxfordshire but I'm happy to post at your cost.

Does this have a third mounting point on the fork crown? This could be very useful but I am not sure how it would work with cantilever brakes.

Nope - just the two that use the existing cantilever / v-brake mounting bolts. It's a while since I took it off now but I don't think it was fitted with any additional hardware so just used the original fixings as I have nowt left over.. but I can't be 100% sure. I'll take a look in the spares bag when I get a moment

EDIT: Just had a look at the high-res original image and the mounts are just sandwiched between the pivot bolts and their bosses.

Thanks

Let me have a little ponder on how it will work with my cable setup.

Aye - no worries

I do not think it will work unfortunately, sorry.

That rack is intended to have a third fixing to the fork crown. That is what the drilled plate is for. I wouldn't want to put load on it without it.

Cheers - wasn't aware of that. I did wonder about just the two fixings but that's how it came and there were no other obviously missing mounts. I guess you'd mount to the same point as the mudguard..?

Thanks - sadly the rack didn't come with any additional hardware like that; although the bracket looks simple enough to knock up.

In light of this, asling price reduced to a tenner
