I have a Beckman front rack and bought it for the large front platform. It's rated to carry items up to 22" in length. When I had a Nortface Slickrock tent, that's where it went. A few years ago I was able to bungee a large bundle of firewood to it and ride a few miles back to camp. I will never go with a front rack that does not have a platform if I can help it.
