I am tossing up the option of carrying panniers on the front of my forthcoming Reise and Muller Supercharger 2. This is just one option; I may stick to getting mounts to mount my Salsa Anything Cages.
In the meantime, I am considering the various options, including a front rack.
In days long past, I used a
Tubus Swing on a mountain bike, which worked okay, but Tubus no longer makes them.
I have come across a couple of options. Have I missed any other options?
[1]
Topeak Tetrarack M1. I am not keen on using velcro, but I believe they can be swapped out for hose clamps. The load rating is 10 kg.
[2]
Zefal Raider Front - uses four hose clamps to mount it. It is lighter. The load rating is 2 x 9 kg (complying with ISO 11243:2016 standard). It's way more than I need, but it speaks to the rack's strength.
[3]
Old Man Mountain Elkhorn - very expensive to purchase and import to Australia.
Thoughts on these racks or others?
