Constructeur Front Rack

The constructeur rack was just right for me. After literally years of trying get a TA rack to support a light, a bigger rack “randomizes” style rack to fit the braze ons, or the cantilever studs, this rack just fit. I adjusted to the proper height for my 650B fork, marked the part of the tang to cut off, got out the Dremel, bolted it on, ran the included long rack strut underneath by Mafac Raid brake and then bent it into position et voila! At the dropout I make stud by running a bolt through from the inside of the fork, backing a flanged nut on facing out, then installing the rack, then putting the outside flanged nut on for safe keeping. That way you don’t have to wrestle with getting a swinging rack, a bolt and a wrench to all line up with the fork eyelet at the same time.

This rack went on with no fuss at all. Super easy to trim support stays to size (with a Dremel and a stack of cutoff disks - ate up about 2 per side) and looks fantastic on the bike. My wife is pleased with the look, and that is as good as gold in my book!
