Front and rear racks

[jrenaut]

Talk to me about racks. No, not that kind, the kind that go on your bike. I’ve never had a bike with one, so I don’t even know what questions to ask. I’d love something that comes on and off easily. I will pay a premium for something that doesn’t rattle when I hit a bump. What should I be looking for?

Bike commuting since the early 90s and I’ve never had a rack on a bike, but that’s about to change. I’ve been getting some collar bone pain so thought I should put a rack on the POS Cannondale and use it occasionally to give things a break. Got an Axiom Streamliner Disc DLX and the Ortlieb Roller Classic waterproof panniers. Maybe I’ll get lucky and they won’t be compatible or something, or I can leave it unlocked out in front of MOM and then have an excuse to get another bike. jk

You still have a Bad Boy? Let me know if you ever need a front Ultra Fatty fork. I had mine rebuilt like a month before I finally gave up on the frame.
