Flat Pack Racks Arrive!

We're pleased to announce that the super adjustable and sturdy Flat Pack Rack is now available! Let's face it, front racks and handlebar bags are the Wild West. There's no convention, rhyme, or reason for braze-on placements let alone glue-ons for carbon forks. We could push another braze-on mounting standard onto the world but, to be honest, I think we're all tired of the "standards" that exist. So we've decided to go with the flow.

The platform is known as a “demi-porteur”. Its size is somewhere in between a full Porteur and traditional Randonneur front rack. The main benefit to the demi-porteur style is better stabilization for large Randonneur Handlebar Bags as well as better support for baskets and large, bikepacking bags.

The uprights are removable and can be interchanged between a decaleur receiver for a Randonneur-style handlebar bag and a tombstone loop for a basket or other luggage.

When disassembled, it can fold almost completely flat - which is really useful for travel where space is at a premium. After removing the rack from the bike, I like to leave all the rack parts attached to one another, just simply folded and then re-tightened as not to lose anything in transit.

The Flat Pack Rack mounts to the fork crown using this little do-dad we call a Foot. This beefy mount sits flat against the fork crown and is also mounted to a daruma-style receiver, so it can slide up or down and in and out depending on your clearance needs.

Oh, and there's also an eyelet on the front of the rack for a light!
