I'm a newbie to forums, so I apologize if this isn't the correct way to post a message. I image searched "Masi Speciale Commuter Front Rack" and I stumbled upon your picture posted on this forum. I quickly signed myself up to ask you this question. How the heck did you manage to secure that front rack? Did you use a customized springboard? I'm leaving on a 450k tour next weekend and thought it would be a good idea to purchase a Soma Mini front rack from MEC to carry small light items. I successfully Macgyvered the install by bending the springboard it came with. I had it bent so that it would run under the caliper brake. But after changing my tires, there isn't enough clearance. The tire hits the springboard preventing it from spinning. If I decide to keep my set up the way it is, 700C 37" I would need to run the springboard above the brake (as shown in your picture). I really don't want to go through all the trouble again bending parts and running to hardware store for Nicks and Nacks. The setup shown on your picture looks legit. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
