Overview
The Fly Evo Rear Rack is the lightest in the Tubus lineup and makes an excellent choice for the weight conscious cyclist and those looking for a minimalistic, light-weight rear carrier.
The Fly is made to run on narrow-tired road and cross bikes (38c max tire size) with a V-shaped design that allows for the lowest profile possible while still keeping loads away from the rear wheel. The Fly mounts to traditional rack eyelets, while a single telescoping strut mounts the leading edge of the rack to the brake bridge or seat-pin/clamp.
The ideal use for the Tubus Fly is ultralight-weight touring and as a general use rack for around town hauling minimal loads such as clothes for work etc.
The stainless steel Tubus Fly Rear Rack-Stainless ($159.99) is only 28 grams heavier.
Note: The Tubus Fly is a specific rack design intended to fit on bicycles that have traditional seat-stay bridges including a centered, tapped fender mounting hole.
The Tubus Roundstay Offset can be used to mount the Tubus Fly roundstay to upper rack eyelets.
If your bicycle doesn’t have upper eyelets, use the Tubus Seat Stay Mounts.
