Front bike rack, Wald vs DIY

Front bike racks

Some examples of different front bicycle racks.

Buy ready for example: Wald 137 Front basket.

or bigger basket 135

This is model Wald 135 which is bigger basket than 137.

"I just appreciate the original Wald basket mounting system. Everyone seems to clip off the legs, buy a front rack, and zip-tie the basket to a rack and I don’t get why! The mounting legs it comes with works great, are reasonably light-weight, and in my experience, super robust!" - TripleSecretSquirrel

Cykelgear.se is selling them in Sweden

This is a nice mounting

Make your own

This is my Miyata Terrarunner with a DIY front basket, costing about 4 dollars to make. I've made a video testing it. Will be coming out soon..

I've stolen the idea from this dude, youtubechannel garys.projects:

Part from IKEA:

Pleja 26x34x8  99kr (black basket, try to find a silver one, looks better

Observatör 100 cm, eyelets for m5 bolts. 30 kr

This DIY front bike rack for under 25 dollars, IKEA style.

"Buy a women's bicycle basket at eg Harald Nyborg for SEK 69, take the brackets and replace the basket with a wire basket from Ikea for SEK 40, and it will be like this" - SebbeK

Other alternatives: AVS system

Here Crescent Hybrid with AVS rack.

------------ Lowrider alternative ---------

This is universal lowrider for forks without lowrider bold (in the middle of fork). Seem to fit most bike who has eyelets near wheel axle opening.
