This one has a few tool marks on the inside of the clamp, unvisible when in use and with the same perfection when it comes to a perfect fit on the carrier blocks (Brompton and Eerder) as the regular ones. So I've discounted this one a little.
The Eerder Full metal Clamp fits the Eerder Full metal Bracket and the Brompton front carrier block. It features 4 mounting points which correspond with the hole pattern of the Eerder Framehugger Mk4 to Mk7. So it can be bolted to the Framehugger to create a super versatile mini rack. But of course it can be bolted to a lot of other objects, like baskets, crates, containers, a DIY wooden platform, whatever you can think of. Let your imagination go wild!
The Mk4 features a stop bridge / Preloader anti getting stuck kinda feature. The problem with high loads is that the wedge design might clamp pretty tight on the carrier block. The longer the ride, the more bumps, the heavier the load, the tighter it gets. Probably more of an issue on the Full metal Bracket than on the flexy plastic Brompton carrier block. To prevent this I finally offer this solution in the form of a Preloader.
The Preloader is screwed to the top side of the Clamp limiting the amount of sag and defining the amount of preload. When putting the clamp on the bracket the Preloader is just free from the carrier bracket's top side, but under load it comes into action. The idea is that there's now a defined preload on the clamp for a rattle free tight fit. And it takes just a little tug to unwedge it from the Carrier block.
Compatible with the Full metal Bracket and the original Brompton #frontcarrierblock
