Racks

We always have LOTS of front and rear racks in stock, enough to accommodate just about every bike. 
Seriously, we have a lot of racks.
Here are a few of the ones we like.
They start at just $40. We're always happy to offer rack advice specific to your bike and you.
Please call, email, or stop in to see 'em!
Picture
Salsa Wanderlust $99. This might be our favorite all-around touring rack. It's really light, wide, and strong, offers a low-mount pannier position, sits far enough back to provide great heel clearance, and comes with super long stays to accommodate mounting to the smallest bikes. A real winner for the money.
Picture
Tubus Disco $150: So, you have disc brakes, and only the best is good enough for you. Now, you can mount a tubus carrier on your bike. Our DISCO is available in two sizes and designed to be combined with disc brakes. Instead of using added accessories, the DISCO simply fits onto your frame. The carrier is easy to mount using the serial quick release, or it can also be mounted on eyelets of the frame. Simply load up your bike and go.
Picture
Tubus Cargo Evo $160: It´s a classic - now updated for all modern requirements. The allround carrier has become even better by improving important details now. 3D-feet with perfect force absorbtion and integrated screw attachement. New superlight mountingparts for mounting the stays to the frame. Click springclamp. Rearlight protection by drawn-out tubes. Armed for additional 25 years on the road.
Picture
Tubus Vega Evo $140: We just had to copyclip this straight from the Tubus racks German translation. The Vega - now also as Evo-model - with 3D-feets for perfect force absorbtion and integrated screw attachement. New superlight mountingparts for alternative mounting the stays to the frame. Optional: klick springclamp.
Picture
Topeak Super Tourist $65: Topeak offer system racks for the more budget-minded cyclist, still without a penalty for the lower price. With a simple, intuitive mechanism you can clip on a basket or bag to any rack in their MTX range. Reliable and great value, and you can run panniers along with your basket!
Picture
Topeak beam racks $55: allow you to add cargo even to bikes lacking mounting points on the frame! A secure cam locks the beam rack to your seatpost and, voila! Off you go. Just like their full size system racks, a simple, intuitive mechanism lets you clip on a basket or bag to any of their MTX beam racks. Reliable, and great value!
Picture
The Surly Nice Rack $155: fully adjustable and fits a wide variety of bikes, including many with disc brakes, fat tires, weird color schemes, and more. Adaptable to many wheel sizes, this stout bugger designed in Minnesota can handle just about whatever you throw at it.
Picture
Surly front mount rack $145: Kinda like the rear but for the front. I know, I know. Seems simple. Well, it is. Stout and tough and sugar and spice.
Picture
Surly 24 pack rack $150: It holds at least one 24 pack of whatever: beer, hand grenades, etc. Fits your fork, but really requires crown eyelets. Call us if you don't understand. Cool rack!
Picture
Tubus Tara front low-rider $145: The Tara is our longest standing low-rider model. For 18 years it has been our best selling front carrier. It has been improved over time, making it even more solid. This is the most durable Tubus low-rider. Its simple shape and variable mounting allows it to fit to even the most diverse forks. When used in combination with the CARGO, TARA is the perfect match for long travel biking. Separate eyelets for mudguard mounting are also included. For the fat tire section, we also offer the TARA Big Apple.
Picture
Salsa Down Under front rack $65: for those of you with forward-facing fork eyelets and mid-blade mounting points, this rack is about as minimal as a front rack can get. Tubular cro-mo, as you'd expect from Salsa.
Picture
SOMA Lucas front rack $55: Redesigned with a taller backstop and eyelets for accessories. Perfect for strapping a Wald basket to, or on its own. Stainless hardware, includes mounting tang and spacers so that you can clear the fork leg when you mount to the eyelets on the backside of your fork. Works well with a set of P-clamps as well(not included). Platform measures 240mm x 130mm, eyelet to bottom of rack is 365mm. Greyish silver finish.
Picture
SOMA Demi Porteur front rack $129: Compact but wide bag supporting works well for larger bar bags like the Ostrich F-702. Installs onto a fork’s mini-rack mounts or via P-Clamps if your fork doesn’t have those mounts. – Aluminum construction – Black or silver finish – Platform: 26cm x 30cm. – 10kg load capacity – Made for us by the folks responsible for Tanaka Fenders.
Picture
The SOMA front rack (stainless steel shown $175): allows you to stack all manner of things on top as well as a set of panniers below. Pretty cool!
Picture
Gamoh Porteur rear rack $120: a super-wide carrier great for flat stuff or floppy loads that need extra support. One of the widest rear racks on the market. Cargo on!
