Porteur rack to fit fork without forward facing eyelets
 

I'm assembling a new commuter with different parts I had laying around and the only fork that fitted has low-rider mounts but no forward facing mounts for a rack. I want to install a porteur style rack. The bike has cantilevers. (see picture)

Do you know of anything with these characteristics:

• 26" wheel compatible
• Mounts on fork crown hole and then either on the axle or low-rider mount
• Possible to attach a dynamo-powered headlight
• Extra points if it can be attached to the fender (this bike will get some 60mm long gilles berthouds)
• Extra points if it's available in black

I know the SOMA Porteur Deluxe but it seems a bit overkill. I will never carry more than 10kg on this rack.

Minoura Gamoh Porteur is in the same league as the Soma so it might be overkill. I owned two of them and they worked well. Wald makes a pizza rack but it won't handle 10 kg.

I replaced my porteur rack with a Nitto front rack with a Wald basket zip tied to it. I was never carrying much weight so this was an easy compromise. You could get an inexpensive front rack that attaches to the canti posts and fork crown and put a basket on top of it. You could do that for less than 35 dollars.

wont the basket move? could you show me some pics of your setup?

I use 6 zip ties to hold it down and it never moves.

I started with the porteur rack and it was overkill. Plus I didn't like how high everything sat. A true porteur rack should just clear the front tire and fender. Then I went to the Nitto rack and large Wald basket but wasn't quite as stable. I then added a second pair of struts to Mark's Nitto rack (from Rivendell) and it was much better. I went with the smaller basket because I really didn't need the larger size for most day to day riding. Hope this helps.

Replaced with Mark's Nitto Rack with single strut.

Replaced with double strut and smaller basket. I keep a net on the basket and a few toe straps to fasten things down.

Thanks! Looks good to me. My low-rider mounts are a bit too far away for that rack I think, but a Nitto M12 fits just fine.

This looks pretty good! And the price seems to be reasonable. If I find it here (germany) and it fits I might get this one. Thank you so much ;)
