Our T Rack has been completely updated for 2024.
The T Rack is a light weight, minimalist bag support rack with a generously sized top platform and triple bottle bosses on the sides of the rack legs to allow for carrying small dry bags or water bottles via cargo cages or bottle holders. This rack has been extremely popular with bicycle travelers for several years, and we've just updated several aspects of the design.
The T Rack is available in two platform heights of 355mm and 380mm to accommodate a range of frames and forks. To determine which rack height to order, we recommend measuring from your lower rack mount to the top of your tire, and adding 25-50mm.
Changes for the new racks include:
-Completely redesigned mounting hardware to reduce the likelihood of loosening over time (You will need to still check hardware tightness regularly as with any rack)
-Two sets of extra long 350mm mounting struts, one straight and one offset to more easily fit a wider range of bikes
-Internal dynamo wiring port on the platform for a headlight or tail light
-Increased 12mm tube diameter of vertical leg with thinner walls to increase stiffness and reduce weight (load rating over the center of the platform remains 30lbs)
The T rack weights 470 grams without hardware, 649 grams including all mounting hardware, bolts and uncut 350mm struts. Total load limit for the T rack is 30lbs, including 5lbs for each set of triple bosses. The load on the rack platform must be centered over the rack, and not overhanging/cantilevered off the end of the platform.
You'll need proper threaded load bearing mounting points at the dropouts and seatstays or fork crown in order to properly mount the T rack on your bike. If you don't have upper rack bosses, there are seat clamps with integrated rack mounts available. If your steel fork doesn't have upper bosses, we sell a rack adaptor that attaches to the center hole of your fork crown (depending on the style of your fork).
