Re: Front Pannier rack advice

thanks for the nuggets of knowledge, The TUBUS tara is very appealing,just got to find one at the right price... SPA seem to be the lowest, may hold out for 2nd hand one for a little while,, do SPA have new year sales?

Front Pannier rack advice

Hi all, been reading this forum for a while, decided join as I have question i cant find answers too.

recently bought myself a 1992 Claude Butler Dalesman, it has single eyelets at the bottom of the fork and mudguards attached to them and a single mounting bolt about 1/3 of the way down. I cant work out what front rack to get for it. Most racks seem to have the upper mounting that requires a bolt on both sides of the fork.

hope this makes sense and any advice welcome..
