When I purchased a used Saluki, it came with a rear VO rack that was bolted
to the fender & bottom eyelets, but not to the brake bridge. It seemed
stable but in fact had just enough lateral flex, even without a load to
stress the fender. I don't think I would be comfortable with a front rack
Yes, i did. They were fixed to the rack and daruma, the rack could still move a
bit because of the flat strut being flexy, so the fender broke. I drilled a
hole in the strut right in front of the fork crown, bolted the fender to it and
put some tape on the gap in the fender. I will put some hamm
Anyone done this mod using a set of SKS fenders?

Yes, when I got my Mark's Rack in 2011 I didn't like the way that mounting
it over the top of the brake put the rack so high up. So I pounded the
tang straight, drilled a hole through it and the metal fender, put them on
a fork-crown daruma, and then a nylon locknut to hold it all together. Th
If you have mid-fork braze ons, you should run both sets of struts to the
mid fork braze on. That way, it's actually a triangle.

Thanks for that picture. That setup is almost there! It would be much
more sturdy with a second set of struts.

Hi Bill,
Jeremy Spencer did this on his AHH (but not the double-struts):

And yes to the metal fenders. IIRC, some listers have done something
similar with front racks bolting to metal fenders and using a metal bridge
Wouldn't having struts to the cantis (in my case Racer) studs and to blades
make it awkward to even open the brakes, let alone adjust them?
I never carry much weight upfront so doubt it would be necessary.

I've always wanted to try using the Canti-attachment rods and run them
double strut style to cantis or Paul Racer studs. Perhaps I will soon

I think it's a neat idea. I have Mark's rack on two bikes, and will let
you know if I try it. If you run double-struts (which I highly recommend),
then the cleanest setup would be no diving board at all. With double
struts, all the load is supported by the triangle, so the only thing you
