I bought the Jack Rack based on this review and I’m very happy with it. I bought it with bike camping on my Bike Friday in mind and It worked perfectly. Best of all it is easy to put on and take off. It also came beautifully boxed with straps and accessories.
This rack really caught my eye a few weeks ago,so glad for the review!As usaul very well done!Russ plz.don't ever change your style or lo-key highly informative content!🤗
I also have an Outback, and got the Swood twisted rack this spring. 100 grams, so a whole lot lighter. It supports a bag, but no shelf so can't strap misc stuff to it. I think PLP reviewed that already.
On this review, just received mine in the post, and it’s fitted! I have also setup my Restrap Rando (small) bag on there, and so far this looks to be the perfect fit and combo for my level of luggage needs. Nice and minimalist whilst flexible enough to my needs. Thanks for highlighting this one Russ!
The design is ancient. I have a 10 dollar cruiser bike basket with almost the same mount . Been around for decades. Kudos to these guys for modernizing it into a rack
Cannondale made handlebar bags in the late 70s thru the 80's with a similar rack. It just came out from the bar and hooked through the top of their bags.
Glad its back in a modern form, great job! I've already recommended your stem rack to several riders who do the new long distance riding where they pack everything in line with the bike to be more aerodynamic, instead of the old side bag paniers.. I will highly suggest to make some kind of universal light bracket attachment at the very front, as many of these riders have hub generator lights like SON, as Paris-Brest-Paris randonneur type riding is becoming very popular.
THIS IS IT!! Been looking for a rack for my Ritchey Outback. The issue is the fork crown. And the easiness of taking it away so quickly is a game changer. THX!!
This checks so many boxes for me. Front load, check. Easily moved from bike to bike, check. Support a small startup, check. I will be looking at this for my bikes that don't already have a front rack or basket.
This is too perfect. I can tie down the bulky camp stuff with their bungee straps and put a basket net on top for quicker access stuff. AND take everything off when I don't need it.
Thanks for showing us all these racks and do-dads, Russ, a lot of fun to have a lot of options. Signed, a party pacer by age, not choice. And O how I grin, just thankful to still be in the game. And maybe you could do a vid on how to upgrade a Free Spirit. I know there's more speed in that bike, somewhere.
Sweet design, but they need one to fit 35mm bars like alot of mtn bikes are starting to come with. Definitely useful to stabilize front loads in the rough
@@milesbgibbons Thanks, because I upgraded my bar and stem on my hardtail and I had to get the 35mm clamp because of availability at the time. I am definitely looking into doing some bikepacking on singletrack soon and I like the design and idea of your rack. The simple solution could be one rack, but the plastic inserts being of different thicknesses to accommodate different bar diameters
In my opinion, Brompton came up with the best idea for carrying a bag on the front with its slot on bracket that attaches to the front of the bike. Therefore it doesn’t impede the steering as it glides with the frame rather than the handlebars. I appreciate that to clear a lot of cables and stuff you would have to have a higher, or should I say longer bracket, which would approach leverage on the frame, but it really is a good system
Cool design I'm running a large pizza rack at the moment it's hard mounted and I've been wanting to go do something like that not as big as a pizza rack but the pizza rack I held for about 70 lb on it it was two boxes full of cans of food and my tire failed before the rack did I don't normally carry that kind of heavy load all the time
Looks promising. Some similarities to the method that Rhode Gear used for their handlebar bags. I really liked their stuff. Im surprised nobody has adopted that system for modern use on 31.8 bars .
Cannondale, Rhode Gear... Etc. I loved my cannondale bag. Got one and it didn't fit my new 31mm bars, so I modified it with clamps and JB weld to work. Works great. Cost $25 total. No bag on my cables or hands, very stable (actually totally immobile, like a salsa front bag mount) and easy to access. I tried to bend it first, then considered welding one, but ultimately, JB weld was sufficient and it still allows me to use bike lights on my Trek 9600 drop bar gravel grinder (one on the fork, one on a drop down vs rise up bar extension). the drop drop down is to secure my front roll bag for bike packing. I'm a cheap SOB. I rigged it so I wouldn't have a bouncy bag on my cables. Works great. 6lbs of gear move an inch with a compression burrito and some voile straps.
This is perfect (form and price) for my 2017 Ghost Urban 2 commuter, which does not have any fork connections. I think one issue about the rack is when you have a Jones H bar or Moloko bar..I don't thing this would work very well, if at all? If anyone has a pic, please post.
Okay, on second thought it is a pretty ingenious design. If I had the mounts on my fork, I would still prefer a dedicated front mini rack. If not, it is a cool minimalist design and has less straps flopping around than a cradle system. My one concern is the longevity of the soft parts with day to day use. That is, the whole thing is held in tension by the elastic band and the stem strap. Sure, when brand new the rack can meet the load specs but eventually fabric frays and elastic deteriorates. How often would these items need refurbishing and the cost? (more of a rhetorical question that depends on how much you use/abuse your gear, I guess)
One of my favorite accesories of all time is a pair of Lynze Femto F/R lights. they are durable, work, look good, and every single part of that light is pure fuction.......the best part?, the rubber "straps" lock of to one side much tighter, that way the strap never falls off or becomes detached. I cannot stand procucts that dont have time for this simple idea.
I have been trying to figure out how to carry my lunch box on my commuter cyclocross bike without wearing a back pack. This is it! I saw it on your Insta and I'm already signed up. Early bird here I come!
I have drop bars on my bike for the specific reason, that with several straps and some paracord, I suspend my quilt and sleeping pad between those drops. This looks like it could save me lots of time in loading my rig on camping trips. Thanks for sharing. As always, good stuff.
Wonder if it would fit on the condor bar . Running a salsa (clamp on) sausage roll type right now which just fits the only straight part of the bars nearest the stem .
It's literally too easy to take on and off. I was able to use it exactly zero times before it was stolen off my bike. First time out. Put it on, biked to a store, locked up and bought something, came out and had nothing to strap it to. $130 gone. It seems great, but unless there's a better way to secure it I won't buy again.
I am glad the Nitto F16 got a mention because when you compare the two, in terms of simplicty the jack rack just gets it wrong. From the straps to the plastic inserts, this is just way too finicky.
I disagree. While the straps add marginal amount of setup time it makes the Jack exponentially more useful and stable when compared to the Nitto. The Nitto has no way to account for head tube angles and isn’t secure enough to act more than a bag support. Those F-16 photos were actually supplied by a channel supporter who backed Jack because the F-16 was so limiting.
I'm definitely going to get on this, I have a front-sus ebike that i use for getting to the supermarket, and have been hunting for an affordable solution for getting stuff on the front. My only concern is that someone might pinch the rack when I'm locked up outside, so I might have to try to figure out how to run a lock through some part of this without adding too much weight. Anyone have any ideas on how to avoid something like this getting nicked?
So.....you do know Jack! But seriously, that is a good design and so practical for moving from bike-to-bike when necessary. Looks well made too. Personally I like to see the welds and such.
Still can’t buy it. Checked the website just today. Whole Grain Cycles. This video came out in September of ‘21. You can’t keep advertising and then keep putting people off. If you can’t put the product out then how will you provide support?
I had something like the f16, think I chucked it, for some strange reason. Have turned the place upside-down TWICE now looking for it 😕. So this new job might be a much better replacement 😁 Mind you, $275 is a hell of a price!!!
Did this product ever launch? Wholegrain Cycles website still says they are fulfilling kickstarter orders, but I have no idea how long ago they posted that message.
This is super similar to the bagman by carradice and I think that's no coincidence. The bagman is a no brainer for randonneuring, it supports your saddlebag and makes it feel like it's not even there under light load. I'm not sure why carradice never made a bagman for the front because they would literally just have to make the bar a little longer and bend it a bit more. In any case, when I get my version of this I will be doing double saddlebag touring pretty sharpish. 24 litres in solid, good locations, aero compared to panniers, and keep my frame clear for big boi bottles? Yes please.
I wish there was more flexibility in the bar hooks. If it could encompass larger diameters or unique shapes like aero bars it would be great for electric scooters too. There are many options for bicycles due to the bosses that are brazed on the down tube, front forks, etc. but electric scooters have no options. My escooter has a folding handlebar (ubiquitous in electric scooters) which has two ends that fold down from a center ovalish center bar which the stem is attached to. That ovalish center piece is 42mm wide x 33mm tall (measuring the cross section) x 120mm long. While this particular folding handlebar is used by many escooter manufacturers, there are also other handlebar designs and also there are cross bars that attaches to the stem to put things like headlights and other accessories. Escooters is a growing PEV market, and strangely no racks are available. The most obvious attach point would be the stem or the handlebar that sits atop the stem. Now if a Jack the Scooter Rack was made, it only have to differ with larger hooks on the top and the lengths of the webbing. Escooters don’t have a gooseneck where the handlebar attaches to the stem, the scooter handlebar actually sit atop the stem. So the hook webbing could do a figure 8 around the stem, the drop down from the hooks would be shorter as it wouldn’t have to reach a stem that is setback. I would buy it. For now, all escooter riders use backpacks.
I must've blinked when this got released - just caught up with it. Good review and the Jack makes sense. ( I wonder how many Aussies have The Jack? - ackerdacker joke)
This just went live on their web site. The only hiccup is it comes from china, and one gets hit with (not yet specified) inport duties. I’m thinking about it, but have no idea how much they will be .
@@frakafrocka It actually does! I've used it with my jones bars (no rise) and the other creator of the rack has used it with his Jones (with rise). And it actually works really nicely as the bars and rack clamp your load together! It may even work with the Jones Fork! But we've not tried, only speculated
Still waiting for an email saying that it's available. Now awaiting , arriving in a few days, an etsy offering that mounts like the T rack which is also not so available.
Carradice used to make a simpler version of this 45 years ago, for fitting a handlebar bag to, without cluttering your bars up with straps. It held the bag about an inch forward of the bars, so you could still use the full width of the tops of drop handlebars, for your hands. It was steel coated with white plastic. I still have one in the garage somewhere along with its cotton duck handlebar bag.
Can I ask what the reach is for the handlebars with the green tape? Looks ideal for me, my current bar is like 125 and I feel a little too stretch out on the hoods.
A very easy & light weight bike front rack to be fixed on the steering handlebar. For more weight should be put on the front rack I recommend putting a larger typical dutch style bike front racks to be attached below the steering handlebar at the vertical front frame shaft so that the front rack does move sidewards when you are steering left/right.
Extra points for use of "whilst". Would have been a good time to mention that this is really going to demand extra attention to your stem quality/fasteners - ie ensuring bolts and threads are in perfect condition/torque - and I'm thinking this will rule out carbon stems🤔 Ask not for whomst the bell tolls...
I think this is a great product. Especially for the price. My only concern is that on some of my bikes I don't have enough space for the steerer tube strap. Is there a skinnier one included? Oh and will it work for bull moose bars?! Ha!

The design is ancient. I have a 10 dollar cruiser bike basket with almost the same mount . Been around for decades. Kudos to these guys for modernizing it into a rack
you have any link or a photo? maybe even a paintin? :)
The only images are etched in stone deep inside caves unfortunately :)
Yep back, tithe 70's. It was good then and still is.
Cannondale made handlebar bags in the late 70s thru the 80's with a similar rack. It just came out from the bar and hooked through the top of their bags.
I’m sure your milk crate looks very stylish
Love that we've come back around to front racks. Turns out Jan and Grant are right a lot
I joined the Kickstarter campaign yesterday and they reached at this time a 1000% of their goal. The rack hit the nerve of the community!

does it seem like there is enough clearance if you have cantilever brakes?
I have centre pull cantilever frames that route through the stem. Will probably be an issue but I backed them anyway.

Sure makes a lot more sense than that one that bolts to the front of the stem.

Almost a year later, and I finally got my racks.
Really stocked about this bc my mtb front tire hours my bags with bigger hits.

I wonder if it would interfere with the Redshift stem... The Jack strap around the steer tube would have to be slack
Yes. Prob not the best with the RS stem.

This is just what I’ve always wanted for my carradice bag 😁
Early kickstarter price with shipping from UK is around $85 for the rack. Too rich for me...
So just over a year later mine has arrived and it's looking great. Any advice on what bag would be best to fit on it?

Just received my rack today. Excited to set it up. Thanks for your review.
Wonder if it would fit on the condor bar .
Running a salsa (clamp on) sausage roll type right now which just fits the only straight part of the bars nearest the stem .
Not a bad design for light loads. It could really benefit from a proprietary (tiny) ratchet strapping system.
I want this but for side panniers. Would be pretty useful for carrying coolers
Bike to bike to bike ❤️
THIS IS THE NEWS THAT MATTERS. Great job, PLP!
Will this work on trekking butterfly handlebars?
Stopped the video and went to back it immediately. Thanks for putting it on our radar!
Well thought out design. It’s a bit heavy. I would pay more if they made it in titanium.
"I would pay more if it was made from Ti".. that is for sure! Welding Ti is much more expensive as is the metal itself.
It's literally too easy to take on and off. I was able to use it exactly zero times before it was stolen off my bike. First time out.

Nice rack!! Haha joking aside, i could use one of these.
Maybe $110 not expensive for some folks, but not all of us can dish out that kind of money for a rack. Are there any less expensive options?
For a handlebar or stem mounted support. No.
Looks great! Not at all sure it would work with cantis, but very nifty otherwise.
Might work. Depends on the angle you set the rack.
Man this is exactly what I've been looking for!
I just bought it. It looks good but is quite heavy.
Where can I buy one?
Still can’t buy it. Checked the website just today. Whole Grain Cycles. This video came out in September of ‘21. You can’t keep advertising and then keep putting people off. If you can’t put the product out then how will you provide support?

Awesome - as a multiple bike guy with two Zeitgeists and no mid-fork mounts I think I’m gonna spring for this.
Are these only sold from Europe?

This just went live on their web site. The only hiccup is it comes from china, and one gets hit with (not yet specified) inport duties. I’m thinking about it, but have no idea how much they will be .
will this wear out your handlebars at attachment points, and make them break? ty for review and info.
There is plastic in between. If ever then the plastic will break before the plastic destroys your metal handlebar.

Very sort after especially if you have the saddle bag too
@@martinmalloy5997 sought after.
Absolutely love the design and the looks of this rack!
Can I ask what the reach is for the handlebars with the green tape? Looks ideal for me, my current bar is like 125 and I feel a little too stretch out on the hoods.
I am afraid it will intervene with space for the handlebar bag. Should be mounted in the same spot
It doesn’t.
Some of the touring handlebar bags in the 1970/80s had a very similar frame.
This going to be perfect for my Masi Brunello that is getting a Rockshox XLPR
I found my dream rack.
I had one of those in the 1970's. I still use it.
Show me this magical thing from the past that is exactly the same.

They put out a ton of information why the delays are happening. Absolutely exemplary
Is this compatible with folding bicycles?
Yes.
Extra points for use of "whilst". Would have been a good time to mention that this is really going to demand extra attention to your stem quality/fasteners - ie ensuring bolts and threads are in perfect condition/torque - and I'm thinking this will rule out carbon stems🤔
Ask not for whomst the bell tolls...
I wish they would have kept tha stainless steel look when the went to consumer market as opposed to the black.
You think this would work with the Diverge Future Shock, or would that damage the FS?
Thank for your review. I love it so much anf i want to buy it. Plz tell me how to do?
Like them handlebar's ,, not much drop,, who makes em ??
I think this is a great product. Especially for the price. My only concern is that on some of my bikes I don't have enough space for the steerer tube strap. Is there a skinnier one included? Oh and will it work for bull moose bars?! Ha!
Nice rack, looks like a great idea. Where is this kickstarter thing you mentioned?
Wow! I didn't realize I didn't know Jack until this! 😁
Do you think Jack will work with a suspension stem?
it can work but it depends on the suspension travel and the height of your rack.
If u don’t have spacers between your stem and
Headset, will it still work ?
Yes. Go around the head tube.
