This innovative T-shaped platform prevents the basket bending and warping that can sometimes occur with well-used baskets zip-tied to narrow front racks. Instead of improvising with zip ties that can loosen over time, the Racketeer provides a proper mounting solution where your basket lays on a flat steel plate and bolts securely at three points. This dedicated platform rack transforms any wire basket into a stable, permanent cargo solution that won't shift, sag, or fail during daily use or loaded touring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe platform attaches to your front fork like other front racks—a tongue extends to the fork crown while two solid struts connect to the fork at pannier eyelets or fender eyelets. The struts offer significantly more width adjustment than regular racks, accommodating road forks or MTB forks as wide as 160mm. At 390mm long, the struts can be trimmed to suit different fork configurations, while the 260mm wide x 140mm deep x 30mm tall platform provides ample support for standard wire baskets. This rack solves the common problem of basket installation on bikes without built-in basket supports, giving you a clean, secure mounting system that keeps your cargo stable whether you're commuting, running errands, or loaded touring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt to Last\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eT-shaped platform design specifically engineered for wire basket mounting without included hardware.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePrevents basket bending and warping that occurs when baskets are zip-tied to narrow front racks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlat steel plate provides stable, level surface for basket to rest on securely.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThree-point bolting system secures basket firmly to platform—no zip ties needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEliminates common problems of loosening zip ties, basket shifting, and uneven load distribution.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlatform size: 260mm wide x 140mm deep x 30mm tall—supports standard wire baskets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTongue extends to fork crown for upper mounting point—standard front rack design.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo solid struts connect to fork at pannier eyelets or fender eyelets—versatile mounting options.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks with road forks and CX forks using pannier or fender eyelets for strut attachment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNote: Mini-rack mounts may be too high to provide optimum support—best with lower fork eyelets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStruts offer significantly more width adjustment than typical racks—accommodates varying fork widths.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits road forks and MTB forks as wide as 160mm—works across bike styles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e390mm long struts can be trimmed to fit different fork configurations and rider preferences.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTransforms any wire basket into a permanent, stable cargo system without compromising integrity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIdeal for bikes without built-in basket supports or dedicated basket mounting systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMade by Tanaka—trusted Japanese manufacturer known for innovative, practical cycling solutions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBasket not included—designed to work with your choice of wire basket.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Tanaka","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51705041682754,"sku":"185801","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0937\/5177\/1458\/files\/TanakaRacketeerBasketPlatform_6712ec11-083c-4d6e-bee5-976e0bd73bac.jpg?v=1768174099","url":"https:\/\/clevercycles.com\/products\/tanaka-racketeer-basket-platform","provider":"Clever Cycles | Bikes \u0026 Ebikes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
