Bicycle Trunks

   Bicycle trunks 

Trunk for a bicycle is a detail, without which it can not do modern velolyubitel. This inexpensive but necessary accessory is designed to carry small luggage. For example, you can attach a baby bike seat, bag, basket for animals or products to it. In this way, you will unload your back from unnecessary burdens, and trips on your favorite bike will become more pleasant.

The traditional bicycle rack is a metal structure that can withstand a certain weight. Often, choosing the right model depends on the characteristics of your bike. It is also important to understand for what purpose you need a bike carrier to pay for the functions you need specifically. The price depends on the material and method of mounting the bike carrier.

First of all, it is advisable to study your bike and understand where and how the bicycle rack is installed. Most often, it is mounted under a disc brake above the wheels. If there is a lot of transported cargo, you can buy two luggage racks for two wheels.

Worth to know that the "front" and "rear" bike carriers differ greatly among themselves. Devices that are attached to the front of the bike are not designed to transport too large loads. Usually they are installed on urban women's bikes to make it easier to transport products. Sometimes in such baskets carry pets. It is not recommended to overload the front wheel, as this impairs maneuverability.

Bike racks designed for the rear of the bike have more options. These are the most common models that suit many bikes (urban, tourist, mountain). Frame bicycle racks are the best option for carrying heavy loads (up to 25-30 kg). Most often, such accessories are more expensive, because due to their reliability and stability when moving, they are called the most convenient and durable.

In contrast to the frame, collapsible bicycles racks can not withstand heavy loads. The bolts that connect the parts will begin to loosen over time, because this model will not last long.

There are also console luggage racks for bicycles, they are mounted on the seat post. This option is easy to install, but poorly suited for heavy loads, and there is no protection against getting objects between the spokes of a bicycle.

The material from which is made bike carrier also plays a role. They are:

• steel;
• aluminum;
• titanium.

The cheapest and easiest to repair are steel bike racks. This metal is strong, but it is very heavy. In addition, they are more prone to corrosion than others. Titanium luggage racks would be an ideal variant, because these luggage carriers are both lightweight, reliable and do not rust. The only negative is the impressive cost. Therefore, aluminum products remain the most optimal version. They are durable, lightweight, not prone to corrosion. Of the minuses, possible difficulties with the repair of such bicycle racks are highlighted.

The main problem that can happen to your bike carrier is cutting bolts. Their task is to mount the racks to the dropout. Bolts may break due to loose connection. This happens when the bike carrier is of poor quality. To avoid this situation, you need to regularly check the bike carrier bolts and prevent them from unwinding.

The second reason for the breakdown lies in the malfunction of the rack and other parts of the bike carrier. For example, items may burst. The steel part can be repaired by welding, but the aluminum or titanium will have to be replaced.

Installation of bike carriers should go smoothly, if you follow instructions in the manual. Note that with height adjustment, it is advisable to try to shift the center of mass down by placing the bike rack lower to the ground. It happens that the purchased bike carrier does not fit your two-wheeled friend. For example, in a hanging bracket (dropout) there may not be holes for mounting. Then you have to "get out" and fix the bike carrier with a mount made by hand.
