Ah, stainless. I was wondering why it looked so much better than my silver
steel Tubus Tara. I don't have any issues with the Ortlieb (high
visibility) plus front panniers, for what it's worth. The lower hook can be
moved around as needed.

Hi Nick,
I tried your suggestion on the Tubus Tara installation by swapping the left
and right rack rails and has allowed me to set the rail almost perfectly
horizontal.
What front panniers are you using?
When I tried both my Carradice C and Gravel pack front panniers, I am
having trouble
My Appaloosa frame is a 57cm. I just measured the C-C distance between the
upper eyelet on the dropout and the braze-on attachment on the fork leg as
232mm. FWIW, the Tara rack I have is the stainless steel model, though I
doubt that there are any dimensional differences between that and the
Hi Keith,
I hope you will give us an update on your final front rack configuration on
your Appaloosa.
Thanks.

Hi Nick,
Thank you for posting a picture of your Appaloosa with Tubus Tara.
I really wanted to use a Tubus Tara on my 51 Appaloosa but the absence of
lower eyelet prevented me from getting one.
Would you mind telling me what is the size of your Appaloosa frame?
I am not sure if frame size
If you know a frame builder, you can just install a tube thru the fork
legs, likely similar to your Surly. This is what I did on my Atlantis & it
works great with a Tubus Duo. Mine has worked well for a number of years &
many fully loaded tours. The guy who did mine was a hobbyist, not a
I had an Old Man Mountain Sherpa mounted on my Clem when I had it. Very

In my opinion, there are three very good Nitto front pannier racks which
would be a great choice for a Joe Appaloosa. Those are:
Nitto 34F:
Nitto 27F:
Nitto F25:
Another possibility would be the Nitto 35F, which is more of a high-rider.
Ben's appears to have them all. My personal favorite
I don't have all of the measurements in front of me, but I found the hub
area rack did not fit my appaloosa (eyelet was too high). I got a tubus
tara, but haven't attached it yet, but I figure it should work.
Let us know what you find!
