Oops, I meant my rack will be going on my Salsa Marrakesh. Clearing the headset should be doable. You can put spacers behind the tab. My issue was there no way to adjust the caliper brake relative to the rack in the direction I needed.

I have a Rawlands demi- porteur rack on the way for my Sam with centerpulls. I was assured by Rawlands that the rack will work with a spacer washer to clear the headset...we'll see. They also said the Rawlands is good for 22LBS.

Since the Salsa minimalist rack went out of production, it seems this has been missing in the marketplace for a while. (and the minimalist rack was a long rack, not so much a wide porteur rack) I'm surprised Soma went with welded struts. Replaceable struts allow longer struts for reaching lower mounts commonly found on touring and commuting bikes. My ideal rack design would be adjustable at both mounting points. I just received the Rawland demi porteur rack, and tried to install it on my Rosco. I was able to add a spacer to get it to clear the headset, but there is no way to add a spacer to clear the brake cable housing barrel. The rack will be going on my salsa mariachi instead.

It is a good looking rack, tho, and I'm going to Pedel Revolution to check one out.

I have one: it's aluminium, but nicely made. No light mount, but (in my opinion) there are lots of ways around that. Claims to support 10kg. Ideal size for a basket.
