Let me know if you need help with it. My Big Front is currently not on a bike, so I guess let me know if you want to acquire mine. I can guarantee it fit my Appaloosa. On Tuesday, December 20, 2016 at 10:26:47 AM UTC-8, Joe Bernard wrote: > > Ah, that's interesting about the Big Front Rack.

Ah, that's interesting about the Big Front Rack. The how-to video at Rivbike.com shows Mark using P-clamps instead of the mid mounts, but he may have just felt it was a more direct mounting point than fiddling with struts. I think I'm going to go that way. Thanks, Bill! -- You received this me

Nothing wrong with wanting everything. On my recent Rosco Bubbe build, I experienced the benefit of that. I had thought of it as a stripped down minimalist build for my daily commute with a backpack, so I hadn't given much thought to a front rack. When I finished the build, I remembered that

Rob at Ocean Air Cycles also shows how to use Surly hardware to secure a Soma Porteur to the upper fork mounts. http://oceanaircycles.com/2013/10/18/upper-porteur-mounting/ This could probably be used with Pass and Stow, and many other racks. shoji On Monday, December 19, 2016 at 3:13:45 PM U

I have wondered about this too. I figured a custom rack would be required. Happy to see the solutions to Joe's question. Thank you everyone! Regards, Richard On Sunday, December 18, 2016 at 7:02:41 PM UTC-5, Joe Bernard wrote: > > I'm thinking about putting a front rack on Joe Blue and would l

Here's another pic, a Mark's rack on an Ocean Air Rambler which has the same mounting points. I had to bend the upper struts outward a little to clear the Racer brake. Extra struts and spacers are available a la cart at Riv if you need them. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v712/pscottm/22

It requires customization, but my shop did a lovely job adding struts to a Soma stainless porteur rack to brace on fork-top braze-ons. It makes for a really rigid four-point attachment, which is nice when loaded up! /Jeremy On Sunday, December 18, 2016 at 4:02:41 PM UTC-8, Joe Bernard wrote: >

those mounts are for using a rear rack as a front rack, but Mark's rack also works with them because it uses a second pair of struts. so the forward-most struts connect to the mid mounts, and you can use the rear-most struts to connect to the brazeons on top of the fork (in addition to the divi
