I apologise if this has already been discussed but I did a search and couldn't find anything recent/relevant.
I was wondering if the Salsa Down Under rack is the only lowrider around which will definitely fit front forks with disc brakes? I have a Salsa Vaya which has double sided mid fork braze-ons and a pair of eyelets at the bottom, one either side of the dropout.
I have heard plenty about things that can be bodged to fit, but I want something that's designed to the task. It'd be nice if it cost less than the £70 Salsa as well - I really wanted the Tubus Duo but that would interfere with the brake.

Re: Front rack for disc brakes
umm not sure but provided you have enough mounting points the disk brakes shouldn't be an issue.
if you have front suspension then the choice is narrowed and Old Man mountain have one which mounts on the brake bosses and an extended skewer.

It's not got suspension, has plenty of braze-ons, and I'd like something streamlined and simple - the OMM ones look a bit agricultural!

I've used a Tubus Tara
A bit of a tight fit, and a second mudguard stay would wreck things, but it worked
