Something strange happened here, a lot of negative comments. I did this many times, only I keep the rack closer to the fork, using the same straps. I`we been thinking of doing something similar to this next time.

Remember the straps come in several sizes and strenghts, I`we got one stiff strong type ( stainless) that I need two big plyers to bend or break. The one on the picture looks to be a strong type, and he said he is using two (on top of eachother I guess), sounds stronger than the original to me.

Also I am suprised it can be seen from the pix that the setup is interfering with the brakes. I can not see that from the pix.

I guess you are all going to be angry with me now..
