Disc fork w/mid fork rack mount
I'm thinking of building up a Soma Double Cross w/discs. My current setup has a front rack, but I'm struggling to find a disc compatible fork w/a mid fork blade braze on. Any suggestions?
I was also thinking of doing the Soma disc fork w/an Ortlieb fork adapter. Thoughts?
Here's the adapter

The Ortlieb Adapter is a Quality piece.
though Bruce Gordon's lowrider rack is one piece welded steel tube.
so even a P clip around the fork will do.
rigid mid fork braze-on or that clamp, even more solid..

Kona's "project two" forks come in disk compatible configurations, and I'm pretty sure mine has mid-fork braze-ons (I didn't ride today for a variety of reasons). Unfortunately, their website is pretty useless on this front, and just says 'lots of configurations from 26 to 29er' (mine is a 700c) but one of the pictures appears to have disk mounts, mid fork braze-ons and mounts for cantis?

I've got a Civia Bryant fork on my Kona Jake that meets your criteria.

It's a good looking fork, not too heavy and I've been very happy with the ride.
