Bruce Gordon's 1 piece Low rider racks will allow a pretty Loose mid fork Mount, like a rubber covered P clip ,
because the 2 sides and hoop are all the same piece of 4130 tubing..the rack has its own Integrity.
load transfers to the fork tip eyelet, the P clips stabilise it to follow the wheel rotating within the fork as You steer..
Why is this good? a compliant fork will flex , at the tip so the racks 4 point solid mounting stiffens that.
Tubus racks, that Bolt the top rail to the Hoop allow a Bit of flexibility at that Bolt..
