The hardware is pretty good and can be moved around to be able to fit most mounts. Here’s my T-Rack mounted to the front barrel braze-ons on my fork. Note that the fork here is 135 mm spaced so wider than most. https://roberttilley.smugmug.com/Bicycles/Tumbleweed-Prospector/i-pFbrBgK/A Here’s a

is top of fork crown the only mounting option? is that common enough on forks that this rack would be compatible with enough bikes? i like the modularity with the different mounting points, even if it looks a little too cobbled together (IMO) On Wednesday, January 26, 2022 at 9:02:27 AM UTC-5

I run their T-Rack on the front and Mini Pannier Rack on the rear of my bikepacking bike. Very functional racks since they have the anything cage mounts as well as braze-on’s for mounting lights. Daniel from Tumbleweed worked for Riv at one time and that had some influence on the bikes he offer

This one is not a svelte Nitto or other shiny rack. But it is a bit unique in that the vertical legs have the three threaded boss mounts to accept anything / manything cages or these OvejaNegra Bootlegger direct mount bags. It can also take some mini panniers. It is very easy to mount and is ve
