Keep in mind the Jandd front rack is heavy. I purchased one when I picked up my Jandd rear rack. They are both very sturdy pieces of equipment. The rear rack is working great for me, but the front rack seemed heavy and awkward. Also, the back of the front rack hit my downtube when the fork was turned at extreme angles. Not a problem when riding, but is a problem when maneuvering the bike in tight quarters.

I ended up taking it off and saving it for when I do my “big” tour someday. For day to day use, I bought a $10 bor yuen from Nashbar which meets my needs quite nicely.
