Common on European utility bikes, a front wheel stabilizer makes loading front racks simpler. It is a spring connecting the fork to the down tube. It adds a subtle self centering action to the front wheel, making loading and unloading of a bike with a basket, or say, our Porteur Rack much easier. The spring also offers some resistance to steering, so it counteracts deflections from hitting potholes and road debris.

Mounts to the back of the fork crown via brake bolt or through bolt
Fork crown mount diameter is made to fit an M6 bolt - common on nutted calipers
Use Sheldon's Fender Nuts to work with recessed brake bolts
Rust resistant and includes all required brackets and hardware
Available for Small (31.8mm and smaller) and Large (38-62mm) sized downtubes. Use size small for Polyvalent/Low kicker frames. Use size large for Pass Hunter and Piolet frames

Really nice fitting,high quality

Installed on a 1974 Peugeot UP41 with a Wald basket. Keeps everything upright and easy to load.

Good concept but insufficient spring, fixable

The included spring was far too weak to stabilize my front wheel, but I replaced it with a stronger one and it works very well now. The included brackets for mounting to the front fork and down tube work well, although installing the stronger spring on the fork bracket was a bit tough. I used a spring from th hardware store similar to a 9433K492 spring from McMaster-Carr.

Nice product

Great product for the money. Sadly it didn't work on my frame with split couplings due to cable interference affecting shifting. The downtube mount would hit the split cable barrel. It will get installed on another bike soon enough.

Keeps the front wheel stable, love it!

looks goofy, but

This is the second one to be installed on the same bike. I took the first one off because it looked, well, goofy and detracted from the bike's good looks. It took two times for the bike to tip over even though it had a two legged kickstand holding it up before I ordered this one. Goofy or not it keeps your expensive bike in the upright and locked posistion. Good enough.
