What are the dimensions of this rack? (The horizontal length and width, the height below and above the deck.) I have a front fender...
Can someone walk me through the instructions step by step maybe with some pictures because I am a bit confused about how to install.
Will this work on a carbon fork bike?
Give me some ideas for bags that would mount to this rack. Thanks!

Cheap and sufficient

I had been iffy on buying this front rack but finally decided to buy it since it was pretty cheap and would serve to carry a light load. I can't be happier. The grey/silver color matches perfectly with my bike. The rack is really light yet sounds metallic, also the build quality seems sturdy for a light load. The 3 touch points seem sufficient and once in place the rack doesn't move. I'm glad there's no interference with this rack and my wheel base; for reference, my wheels are 700c (diameter) and 38mm width tires with fenders that extends it a mm or 2.

Good rack for my purpose

This came quickly & was able to take advantage of the free shipping offer. I have the silver & have it mounted on a Trek 520 touring bike with 700x28 Schwalbe Marathon Plus & PlanetBike fenders. There is no clearance issues between the rack, steer tube or anything else. I'd have liked to use a handlebar bag but I wouldn't be able to mount a light on the handlebars without a Minoura h/b accessory attachment (I'm nearly blind & use an 1800 lumens h/light in the dark). It would get awkward so I thought a small rack over my low rider rack would work with a trunk bag on it. It works well so I'm very pleased. There is no problem installing the front panniers or getting stuff in or out of the panniers. HOWEVER don't follow the mounting instructions if your cantilever brakes have a tension spring that fits one of 3 holes on a bracket near the forks. Look closely to the rear side of the brake arms & you should be able to see the spring tab & bracket. Merely remove the mounting bolt on the forks brake arm pivot post (welded onto the fork), position the rack & re-install the bolt. Don't lose any washers on the end as the racks bracket may press against the brake arm and prevent it's proper release function. Loosen the small nuts/bolts that attach the rack platform to the legs, position the platform to horizontal (or whatever angle you want), tighten & you are done. *The tension spring may be universal on all cantilever brakes* **In my opinion the only handlebar bag is Arkels. It has the very best mounting over every other bag. Any bag that uses a strip under the stem to hold the bag/plastic mount in position is inherantly weak from the start.** ***Can't speak to it's load capacity as I'm only using the trund bag for camera, wallet, keys & the like of low weight items.Yes, I'd recommend this product and the supplier.

I bought this to mount my pet carrier on my bike. The hardware included was sufficient. But the instructions were sparse. Definitely not dummy roof - me being the dummy. From three hours, two attempts, and a phone call with my dad, this is what I learned.1. Start with the stabilization bracket and put it under the brake lines. Then attach the stabilization bracket to the actual mount. You can have it loosely attached on the sides where the brakes are, but tighten those all the way last.2. You'll need to bend the mount to make it level. I just put it off the edge lf a table with a floor mat to protect the table and pushed down.3. When you remove the screws on the sides for the brakes, the brake arms will move. Make sure to readjust them after so the brakes won't rub on the tire while is spins.4. The nuts for the screws have rubber washers in them to prevent them from getting loose with vibration from riding. This makes them REALLY hard to tighten. You need to use a wrench/vice grips and a torque screw driver.Overall works really well with my bike. I like the color scheme, it matches the rear rack. It also works very well with my backpack. And I didn't need any new parts but had extras 🤔

Modifications were needed to fit old v brakes

After reading other negative reviews, I held off on buying this rack for several years. I wanted to attach a Wald basket to my 1993 mountain bike and honestly it seems like I was going to have issues with all the front racks out there so I bought this, the cheapest.I had two issues with it. The major one was that the small L-shaped pieces that attach the rest of the rack to the brake posts didn’t allow me to screw the bolt back into the brake posts. I have Shimano XT V-brakes from the 90s. The bolt attaching the brakes to the brake post is tapered; it has a greater diameter under the head that would not allow it to seat into the smaller hole of the piece. My solution was to drill the hole larger so the bolt would fit. Luckily the metal was soft. I was able to use a bit designed for wood and it easily bored it out (holding the metal piece with a bench vise).The second issue was that the nut that was supplied that attaches the rack to the hole at the top of the bicycle fork was not a nylon locking bolt. I put some blue Locktite on the bolt threads but I should probably replace the nut with a locking bolt.Otherwise the rack seems reasonably constructed (for the price). I used zip ties to attach the basket and went for a ride. It seemed sturdy enough. I also actually received more hardware than was necessary to attach the rack to my bike; an extra adapter piece and a few spare nuts and bolts.
