Looking for a front rack that doesn't use the brake hole for mounting. Let me know what my options are. something like in the picture below. Thanks!

Cetma 5 rail is the most obvious option. Bit of a swine to get hold of, though.

don't know any good racks but baskets are nicer ;)

I strongly suggest the wald 137. Doesn't need a brake hole, easy to install and sturdy

I've got a black Wald basket that's going on my Nag when I can get around to building the bloody thing.

Would the 137 work with qr skewers? I'm using the Halo safety ones on an old set of wheels

Found out the rack in my op pic is made by some guy from Poland. Custom made for €160. Does anybody else know any one that can bend and weld some metal in London for less money?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
