There is a way to have on a fork with no eyelets a lowrider rack? I really would like this possibility but otherwise I can just put the panniers in a higher position...
I was thinking to install one through the axle (quick release) and then attach it to the fork with a "clamp" or maybe also through the hole in the crown fork
There is maybe someone that could give me some good suggestions and Links/names of models and products that could be the right choice?
For more information, the bike I have is a "BMC Alpenchallenge ac02". I know there are probably better bikes for touring but this is what I have so... this is the bike I will take with me
Since you are planning on touring for a full year this bike is poorly suited for such a use. Also, note this bike has a 120kg weight limit. I would seriously revisit bike selection.
