Hey folks, I recently purchased a touring bike with mid-fork eyelets, and Im trying to find a front rack that makes use of them.
So far, all the racks I've seen have the U-shaped thingy which holds the rack to the fork, but I'd really rather find a rack that mounts onto the eyelet (one less part to screw up, and whats the point of paying a premium for a bike with mid-fork eyelets when you dont use them).
So far all I've been able to find is the Tubus Tara (
http://www.thetouringstore.com/TUBUS...ARA%20PAGE.htm) which, although I'm sure its a good rack, strikes me as unreasonably expensive. (all the other lowrider racks Ive seen have been in the $20-40 range)
Anyone know if there are any less pricey racks that make use of the mid-fork eyelets? If the mid-fork eyelets aren't commonly used for racks, what
are they used for?
Thanks!
