I agree with Dream Cyclery with the exception that the rack isn't that new, I've had one on a Randonee for over 3 years and am very pleased with it. FWIW, I have 3 bikes with 3 different front racks, (Tubus Tara, Blackburn Outpost, and Salsa Down Under). Of the 3 the Blackburn is my favorite for carrying lots of stuff. The mid mount on the Blackburn is roughly the same as the Tara and Down Under.

As a clarification I just stuffed a tarp into the bag and threw it on the rack to show someone else how it mounts, it is my daughter's bag and the hook is set for her Tara, but the hook can easily be adjusted to hang onto the Outpost. Also, I chose to angle the stays in such a way that I didn't have to cut them so I could move the rack to a different bike if I chose.

edit: mstateglfr I guess I should feel guilty as after I posted this I realized I posted these pictures for you earlier.

Sorry you don't like the rack as much as I do.
