Fahrer front rack XL with improved clamp fitment by Eerder metaal
Initially I ordered this rack because I was curious about the fitment of the clamp section on the Brompton front carrier block and the Eerder Full metal Bracket. And I must say it fits the Full metal Bracket and the Brompton Front Carrier Block quite nicely after I repositioned and added some Velcro filler material inside the clamp and filed the bottom of the square hole a bit so the latch of the Full metal Bracket (stainless steel front carrier block) and the Brompton Front Carrier Block engages properly. Originally the fitment on the Brompton front carrier block is not the best. It has some play in all directions, more than I like. That's why I now offer these racks modifed only for a bit more than the recommended sales price of €89.
For a rack on this price level it's pretty neat, with 609 grams on my scale (Fahrer says 503 gr) quite light and it feels pretty sturdy and stiff. A max load of 9 kg seems conservative to me, but probably they want to be rather safe than sorry. Especially when you already have a Full metal Bracket it's a great rack when you need something for hauling groceries etc, stuff that doesn't fit nice in your bag, odd shaped objects maybe. I wish it could be converted to act as a front luggage frame for the Xplorer bag. But for that kind of versatility you have to go the Full metal Frame, unfortuantely at a totally different price level. But will make some late this year, 2025
