The rainy weekend forecast in Nagoya was beautifully proven wrong by the clear autumn skies.
The breeze is pleasant, making for a weekend that practically shouts at you to get outside and play.
We have just received a front rack that is perfect for such outdoor adventures, so let me introduce it to you.
Pelago Commuter Front Rack¥14,500 (excl. tax)
We previously introduced Pelago bikes on the blog, but they don't just make bikes; they also craft front and rear racks.
In addition to the commuter-style bikes Pelago suggests, it comes with various small parts of different sizes so it can be beautifully attached to any bicycle from 26-inch to 28-inch wheels. In fact, these fork-mounting parts in the photo are clever little items that can be used as keychains and bottle openers. Please do use any parts you don't need for mounting as a bottle opener.
The platform is designed to be quite wide at 330mm by 310mm, so it looks like you could even carry large backpacks or boxes! Of course, the RAL GR LOADER matches it perfectly as well.
And this Pelago rack has stays underneath the platform that allow you to hang pannier bags.
Since you can place items on the platform while hanging panniers on both sides, you can carry a significant amount of gear, making it perfect for camping rides! (Note: Pannier bags with non-adjustable hooks might not be compatible.)
RAL's EX LOADER and DL LOADER are not only set to an exquisite size that considers loading on front racks, but their hooks are also adjustable, so they are a perfect match!
Please go ahead and use it heavily—from your daily commute, trips into town, and weekend picnic rides, all the way to camping trips!!
