still havent used it, but my tricross does have the fittings for a front rack.....have been told different amounts of weight to put on the fork (one said 10 lbs, read somewhere else more) so who knows, but I would be careful and play it safe with both torquing the rack on, as well as loading bags with clothes and such that keep the weight down (but as I have said before, I prefer a light end anyway, to keep the steering from becoming too heavy, jsut for fun in downhill turns)
