Need a cheap bike rack? How about the Dirtbag from Küat Racks, a simple solution for those who don’t want to spend more than $13 for a bike rack! It is billed as the most affordable rack on the market, which is surely true – but using it could cost you.
This is because it “mounts anywhere” and it isn’t really a rack, as much as a simple piece of metal that clamps down the front fork with the help of the bike’s skewer. In fact it is probably a good idea to have an extra skewer to use the Dirtbag.
So how does it work? Well, you mount the Dirtbag anywhere you want. There is no rail, so if you’re going to mount it to the roof of a car you’d have to literally mount it on the roof of the car. Probably not a good idea unless you’re driving a “dirtbag” type of car to start with – but for those with trucks this could be an ideal system to mounting the bike to the bed. It could also be used to mount a bike in a garage or the wall in an apartment. Use at your own risk in other words!
