Bikes: 1961 Ideor, 1966 Perfekt 3 Speed AB Hub, 1994 Bridgestone MB-6, 2006 Airnimal Joey, 2009 Thorn Sherpa, 2013 Thorn Nomad MkII, 2015 VO Pass Hunter, 2017 Lynskey Backroad, 2017 Raleigh Gran Prix, 1980s Bianchi Mixte on a trainer. Others are now gone.

Shipping cost from the UK would not be very cheap, but these are an option for your 26 inch bike. The Nomad forks are suspension corrected, but the others are not. These are rim brake only, not disc. Some of them have the brake posts on the back, not front, not sure if that would be an issue for you. On the back and it only works with V brakes, not cantilever.

The mid-fork mounts are in front of the fork, not inset inside it. That changes the rack geometry a bit as the mounts are further forward on the rack than with most other low rider racks. For that reason, Tubus Tara might not work that well, my Tubus Ergo works well on the Sherpa fork.
