Hi Guys,

I don't really have the money for a purpose built front-rack for a suspension fork, so I was hoping to get your opinions on the following setup. Its a lowrider front rack (http://www.wiggle.com/lifeline-alloy...er-front-rack/). I have threaded a long QR skewer through the rack on one side, then the wheel, and then the rack on the other side. The top of the rack is secured using a U-bolt that was supplied with it.

Do you think this setup poses a serious risk of the wheel falling off or anything? Below (Photo 4) I have put a green arrow pointing to the gap between the fork dropout where the QR skewer normally compresses against, and the rack. I was thinking that a hard rubber or plastic spacer here to ensure that pressure is being applied to the dropout would be sufficient. What do you think?

Photo 2: The upper guide/mount (this u-bolt was included with the rack)
Photo 3: Close up of the dropout
Photo 4: The rack is circled in red. The green arrow points to the gap where I think a spacer would be sufficient to make sure the pressure is being applied to the fork dropout (from skewer tightening) as opposed to the side of the fork tube where the rack comes in contact with it.

Am I mad? Bearing in mind that there will be minimal weight on the front, any thoughts would be thoroughly appreciated!
