I find it strange that all but the most expensive panniers seem to not be designed to use the eyelets.
The u-clamps are used when there aren't mid-fork eyelets.
The mid-fork eyelets are typically in a fairly standard location and all the rack manufacturers know about them.
Maybe, the positioning of the eyelets on your bike isn't standard.
The Axium rack should work with them too.
