is the mid fork braze on of the type that goes straight thru the fork blade?

I have had a set of Bruce Gordon's Racks for 25 years , they are formed of a single tube
the hoop, and bag platforms are all the same tube, with one crossbar on each side.

If any rack could use the 2 dropout bolts
[I use 8.8 high strength steel bolts]
and have a less rigid mid fork fitting
so the springy fork compliance with the road
for some comfort then bruce is it ,

Tubus racks have a bolt connection , between the top rail and the hoop,
that is part of their fit flexibility, [and smaller shipping size] though the angle the parts fit ,
varies with location of the connection points.


I have some Bruce Gordon made racks, now over 20 years of use..
only powder coat wear on them..
