@bobjonkman asks about strong front racks that attach to your frame:
Q2. Are there any after-market frame-mounted front racks? Something I can bolt on? Substantial enough for that 18kg (40lb) sack of potatoes?
I've seen a few bikeshare bikes with an L-shaped front rack that's welded to the frame, but welding is too much for me.
@ascentale @bobjonkman @bikenite #BikeNite A2. Not familiar with front racks, but 40 lbs seems too much weight for the front. (it's quite unwieldy, although do-able, on the back).
@ai6yr @ascentale @bobjonkman @bikenite Ehhh, it's not bad if it's reasonably balanced. But unlike the rigid back, huge disparities in weight balance on the front will pull you around easily. Another thing to watch is small jumps, as your front wheel will drop much faster with weight than without, which could spell disaster if the bump is at an angle.
