of course the rack will negate some of the way a carbon fork feels as it will dampen its motion ..
Understood about the possibility of adding spacers, but I don't see how that would increase the strength of the entire setup. Maybe you're saying that the distance from the bottoms of the rack posts to the eyelets doesn't significantly increase the risk of my load breaking the attachment bolts?
