When your bike has cantilevers or V-brakes and you just need a smallish rack up there for a bag or basket or stuff-sack, this is the best choice.

These racks do not (typically) work with full-height V brakes, the bolt and the cable interfere with each other. It’s an ideal rack for bikes with canti’s or disc brakes and hourglass eyelets around where a Rando rack would mount.

Keep the weight under 10 lbs on this. ALWAYS use this rack with a tether between the tall tongue-loop and the handlebar. It's a strong little rack, but people do dumb things, and the tether is a safety measure. Make the tether out of cord or any adjustable strap.

Install using some beeswax on the threads so the rack doesn’t vibrate the screws loose down the road.
