Seeking advice: Allygn racks

saintruggler · #1 03-22-2023, 11:25 AM

Has anyone had any experience mounting and (ab)using one of these Allygn racks? I am interested in trying one out on a drop bar mountain bike for bikepacking and gravel touring. Seeking real-time experiences, not hearsay or conjecture!

That Grill rack got me all excited- looks like a great light platform to slap a 139 basket and bag to as I want one a wide platform rack that mounts to mid-fork eyelets.

...but then I saw the cost. Its light and the dimensions are good, but...

Obviously no experience from me on these. Really interesting option though.

I have both the Grill Rack and Diamond Rack, and they are fantastic. If they're in your budget, I can highly recommend them. Among the most thoughtfully designed racks I have ever used, especially if you want to hang a dynamo light on the side.

I love the look and design but in the photos on the website they look like they are SO FAR above the tire. Especially since my front rack bikes are both 650b I'm worried they would have the bag too high.
