Curious what folks use the front rack for. It seems lightweight and lacks bottom support.

I believe it has the same weight capacity as the rear 22lbs, but much shorter, I have not found a use for it so far...

I've been working on finding just the right size bag that will hold 2 tubes and a CO2 inflation system and very minimal tools. The trick is finding one that has a usable attachment system that is nice and tidy and waterproof.

Same. The challenge is finding s computer one with a bottom attachment.

I think I’ve found the right bag - I’ll update and add pics as soon as it arrives

I found one and need to give it a test. I am cycling 2 weeks in Florida beginning next week. I will post a review then.

wondering what your results were? I ordered a MIK adaptor and according to my measurements it should fit the front rack if i use the "close in" adaptor screw holes.

I spent 3 weeks cycling in Florida with my Serial 1 giving my add-ons a test. I found a rear rack bag in a small size to fit the front rack at Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B
097MBMM9W?ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details&th=1 It attached easily. It works nicely. It is collapsable and expands to a nice size. I have used it for a water bottle. 2 of the standard 20 oz. bike water bottles fit in it nicely. I was able to store a lightweight jacket in it. It says it is water-resistant. I was not able to test that. I am assuming it is not waterproof. I am attaching a photo. There are other similar bags on Amazon. It works for me for now. I bicycle tour and am going to keep looking for something more substantial for touring.

Thanks. That looks like a perfect match for making the front rack more usable with standard higher quality bags. I am finding many standard things do not fit on this bike. I've done a good job of working around the limitations. Tom

Have you considered a Pelican R40 or R60 to hold your road tools. A short bungee strap might do the trick

I wasn't able to get the MIK mount to attach to my front rack. Anyone do this and able to share pictures?
