THIS IS THE NEW SPEZIAL UK VERSION WITH A RIGHT HAND SIDE LIGHT MOUNT! This front rack was brewed and born right in the Fern Bicycles workshop in Berlin. Over the past years we handbuilt numerous and kept on improving this unique design. Finally we are proud to present this production model, which was made with the same great attention to detail and from the same 0.8mm thin walled high strength 25CrMo4 steel as if it would be handmade by us! Featuring our famous 3D bend diamond design, it is the perfect front rack for all those searching for a smaller rack which fit's perfectly on a fast randonneur, gravel or race bike. This rack makes your bike look even faster than without one!The Diamond rack allows you to carry a handlebar bag, a sleeping bag or a sixer... what ever it takes to improve your bikepacking or randonneuring adventure. You can choose now if you want the rack with long 420mm or short 270mm rack stays. The long stays are for for dropout fender eyelet mounting and the short stays for mid fork leg lowrider or anything cage eyelet mounting.If you are in doubt which length you'll need always go for the long stays,... you can always cut them down to the right length.

Many people ask how much load the rack can handle and it actually can carry a lot. We have been testing it with up to 70kgs.But, usually the fork mounting points / eyelets are the weakest link in the chain. Especially on carbon forks you should be very careful not to overload or over torque the mounting points.ALWAYS check back with the maker of the fork how much weight it can carry!Also for bike handling reasons, we usually recommend to use our racks for a maximum load of around 5-8 kgs. Check out the new 3M Helitape for extra rack protection! Other nice accessories are the Fern x Gramm Straps , the Rack Hooks and the Anybolts. All racks are made in Taiwan. ATTENTION:Please check before your order if your fork has a front fork crown drilling or eyelet / thread!You'll also need either fork dropout mounts (order long stays), or mid fork leg lowrider mounts, anything cage mounts or cantilever brake bosses (order short stays) for installing this rack! If in doubt order long stays!The rack is designed to work best on headangles from 71°to 73°. Shallower angles may work aswell, depending on fork length and wheel / tire size. M5 Bolts for M5 fork crown mounts are now included!WARNING:On carbon forks please make sure with the manufacturer of the fork that the mounting points are suitable and safe for rack installation.
