I am looking for a front and rear rack for my Pugsley that doesn't require any modifications to mount, aside from the Surely Nice Racks? I've tried searching and it appears that most require some kind of modified brackets of some sort. I was hoping for something not so bulky looking as the Surely Nice Rack.
the same model rack fits front or rear. can be swapped from bike to bike. They can be set up and swapped between a range of decks and pannier or drybag options. Products
I believe that QBP distribute them in the US of A. (we do them in Australia)
I used Bontrager Back Rack I's on my Pugs and the front did require a slight modification but nothing too crazy. I just had to cut the vertical loop off of the "back" of the front rack. The mounts worked great and were a breeze to set up.
Here`s the link to the Edinburgh Bike Co-Op `Revolution Adventure Pannier Rack Mountain` racks, hurry up there`s a sale on and there £8 each! :thumbsup:
The Surly rack works - I get a little hamstring interference at full extension but not enough to be bothersome (doesn't hit when pedaling), let me know and I'll send pics if desired.
Just mounted up an old GF rack that I had lying around. I used the inside of the drive-side eyelet and the outside of the non-drive-side eyelet. I used a small spacer (an M6 nut on an M5 bolt) on the left side as well. I also needed spacers on the seat stay eyelets because they were much farther apart than the rack braces - however the rack was centered between those eyelets which is a good sign! All of the bolts (except the drive side) are 25mm long, so they go through *all* of the threads in those wide eyelets. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
Either the Old Man Mountain Cold Springs or Sherpa rear racks will mount front or back on any Pugsley frame (including small) without modification if you get them with Pugsley mounting kit available at no extra charge from OMM or bikebagshop.com. They are light, strong and infinitely adjustable.
That said, with minimal mount fabrication (front) or modification (back) I think the Cold Springs front rack mounts more cleanly and looks nicer. See http://forums.mtbr.com/fat-bikes/omm-front-rack-pugsley-fork-718316.html for a description of a simple front mount I (with 2 left hands) fabricated with a hacksaw, drill, and file. For the rear all you need is a hacksaw to shorten the provided Pugs mount to lower the front Cold Springs rack to a good position.
If anyone wants dimensions for the front mount I fabricated let me know.
Has anyone tried the Tubus LOCC? I have seen them installed on a Pugsley but cannot tell what clearance there is. I also read that an extension part is required to clear the calipers. I am interested in the LOCC for my Fatback so if anyone has any input on them I would be happy to hear it.
I am looking for a cheap option for a front or rear rack $35 and under for my pugsley. I live in the USA so some of the options may not be sensible if I factor in shipping from other countries. Suggestions??
That looks like the one that came on my Pugs... It's a Planet Bike Versarack Disc. You have to apply a little force to get the thing to mount up centered on the rack mounts, but no modifications needed.
I put a Gamoh on my pugs with room to spare. you need to work with it to fit it right but the supports are super wide and easy to make right.
it's big and can carry a ton of weight, like if you need to take a case of beer and some other things to a party or whatever. or groceries. or a wheelbarrow.
Ok, since no one seems to have experience with the Racktime, how about the Tubus Logo (or Vega)?
There was a guy who had one on a Mukluk with Endos on Darryls.
Hi, I'm after an off the shelf pannier setup for my 2011 pug.
Preferably steel and durable.
Also what panniers do you recommend.
Is there any sites for touring sit-ups for pugs touring.
Are frame bags robust for long duration touring.
Hi. I was wondering whether the Topeak Explorer 29er Tubular Rack w/disc mounts would fit to a Pugsley (without too much modifications). I have also their trunk bag so a quicktrack compatible rack would be nice.
I have an old Topeak rack that attaches to seat post but its carrying capacity is rather limited.
I've been running this one on my Pugs for a year now. Works fine. No modifications needed.
