Titanium & Steel Racks

All Ti Cycles Custom titanium & steel racks are built by hand in our Portland shop and made to order.

Q: How do you build a Custom Rack?

The most effective way to make sure a rack fits a bicycle precisely is to have the frame and fork to build on.

The ideal way to construct racks is with a completely rigid frame of contiguous bent tubing with welded or brazed joints. With no movable parts, this construction method yields the most stability with the highest strength to weight ratio. Rigid construction sacrifices adjustability and requires accurate measurements to land the rack mounting points in line with the bicycle frame mounting points. 

Racks built without the bicycle frame and fork on site cannot be verified for accuracy when mounted. To ensure a wide range of frame compatibility it is recommended that racks built without the frame and fork on site use adjustable upper struts, as shown below.
