Customer reviews of this product:
Nice little rack
by Matt C. of New York, NY on November 24, 2020
Product:
Soma Champs Elysees Front Mini Rack - Stainless
Ownership: a few months
Tech Knowledge: somewhat high
Pros
Stainless
Compact
Lotta mounts
Minimal design
Sturdy
The light mount in front worked out perfectly
Cons
Welds aren’t beautiful up close.
Included bolts protrude upward above rack top surface, so cooler rocks, boxes get punched in. I’ll need to grind them down and reinstall.
Good enough, for most bikes.

Soma Champs Elysees Front Mini Rack - Stainless
Ownership: a few months
Tech Knowledge: somewhat high
Pros
Well-made. Four brazed-on nuts for mounting lights. Plenty of nuts, bolts, washers, P-clamps...for mounting. Includes a brazed-on nut for attaching fender to the front of the rack.
Cons
The size and shape might not allow the rack to rest at the height of the mudguard. I had to make a bracket about 3cm long to connect these, in order to prevent mudguard rattle.
Heavy. The bracket to connect fork crown to rack is extra heavy duty; thick steel. It alone weighs much. It is too thick to fit my bike, so I had to fabricate another bracket.
Other Thoughts
To make the rack really secure and safe, I attached a vintage-style toe clip strap from the tombstone of the rack over the stem, and tightened. That prevents the rack from rotating or flexing forward. For the amount of work involved, overall, I would prefer to pay a builder to custom-make a rack for my randonnering bike. That takes skill, and the builder needs to be local, to see the bike and make their measurements.

Great rack.

None really

Had to get additional spacer to get the rack to work right with my setup given my centerpull brakes and crown.
