... of this fork mounting kit. Basically I've been trying to sort myself out with a touring bike, but I very much don't have the money to buy some beautiful new set up like a LHT or a Thorn Sherpa. The problem I keep encountering though is that it's rather hard to find anything with brazons on the front forks to fit a front rack.... but then I discovered these things (sure you've probably all seen them before, but I'm rather/extremely/embarrassingly new to this so I hadn't and they are either a god send or a big disappointment) . If you haven't seen them before, they allow you to attach a front rack to a bike without any brazons on the front fork. I would love to know your thoughts on them, and whether you think they would be any good (stand up to a tour in India) or whether they should be written off, and I should work more hours and save up for a front rack (I pray that you say the first!).
