FIRE RECOVERY MODE! The web shop is operating as normal but our workshop and retail space is running from a temporary location so please read our latest update before visiting us.
The TARA Big Apple is designed for fatter tyres, up to 29″ x 2″.
The TARA is our longest standing low-rider model. For more than 18 years it has been our best selling front carrier. It has been improved over time, making it even more solid. This is the most durable tubus low-rider. Its simple shape and variable mounting allows it to fit to even the most diverse forks. When used in combination with the CARGO, TARA is the perfect match for long travel biking. Separate eyelets for mudguard mounting are also included.
Unsuitable and not approved for mounting on carbon forks without eyelets and any kind of suspension fork. All other types of forks (carbon forks with eyelets; titanium, aluminium and steel forks) must be approved by the manufacturer for the mounting of lowriders. In any case there may not be any crimp connections.
Whilst typically not a difficult process, fitting racks is often fiddly and can easily take 30-60 minutes of workshop time
Most rack fits will require some degree of cutting, cold-setting, filing or adapting to install properly
We are not able to accommodate people installing racks themselves at the shop
If you would like us to fit a rack you purchase in-store, please be aware that you will likely need to book a fitting, or leave the bike with us until we have time to squeeze it in
If you're purchasing a rack in-store, or collecting an online purchase to install at home, please make sure you have some way to carry it home.

A simple and light front rack that keeps the weight down low. Straight forward to attach to my bike (which had bosses on the fork for it).
