Front Rack Mounting Systems
Tara Upper Mounts
- Easy to mount with a variety of eyelet configurations.
- The mounting arm rotates up and down.
- M5 bolts mounts to the mid-fork eyelet through a slot which allows for variation in the bolt’s position.
- For bicycles without mid-fork eyelets, compatible with the Tubus Mid-Fork Eyelet Adapters.
- Please Note: There is some variability in where bicycle manufactures place their mid-fork eyelets in relation to the lower eyelets. Additionally variations in various aspects of fork geometry means that even with the built-in adjustability, you may not get your rack top-rails perfectly level. Don’t worry. Your packs will stay mounted securely even if your rack is not level.
Duo Upper Mounts
- Designed to mount to forks with either through-the-fork mid-fork mounting eyelets or matching inside and outside mid-fork eyelets.
- Inner and outer connecting arms with slotted bolt mounts allowing for variation in the racks position.
- The distance between the upper and lower brazed-on fork fittings should be 165mm (+/- 3mm).
- Please Note: There is some variability in where bicycle manufactures place their mid-fork eyelets in relation to the lower eyelets. Additionally variations in various aspects of fork geometry means that even with the built-in adjustability, you may not get your rack top-rails perfectly level. Don’t worry. Your packs will stay mounted securely even if your rack is not level.
Tubus Lower Mounts
