Not sure why that would be a problem with any front rack.

FWIW: I typically just carry mine across the top of the rear rack. It might fit in a pannier, but it doesn't make sense to me to put something that is often wet in a pannier. I roll the tent with the floor on the outside and even in an all day rain it seems to be as dry (or wet) as it was when I put it away.
