Front rack

Does anyone know anything about this rack? I am after one to put a small bag on for long days out to carry a few bits and pieces

I'm a trendy consumer. Just look at my F3111 using hovercraft full of eels.

Looks like one that fits onto the brake bosses which are not very strong. Ok if you don't overload it.

I wouldn't use an unbranded rack.

PS: Why do you prefer a rack and bag to a handlebar bag for "a few bits and pieces"?

I have a handlebar bag but the clamp is the wrong diameter for the bars, I am hoping to attach that bag to a rack, also with lights bell etc. there is no room for any kind of clamp on my bar set up

I have the same problem on the tourers so I use extension bars for the secondary lights, speedometer, GPS, bell etc.

Then the bag goes on the handlebars. There are extension bars for handlebar bags that will carry lights, but they've always looked too wobbly.
