Thanks, I actually do have a Jack rack! It's really for one of the other bikes, because I do have a Route Works bar bag on the bike in question making fitting the Jack a non-starter.

There seems to be a company selling them here:

Looks like a great option for having a front rack and a suspension fork at the same time. Do wonder if there would be much risk of wrecking the frame on a bike with thin butted tubing though.

I had to do a bit of creative substitution to get it to fit my Envoy. The OEM hardware is meant for 31.8mm downtubes.
