So, I was thinking about getting a front rack for my Planet X Pickenflick. After some research, I've seen a lot of threads on numerous forums against using a rack + a carbon fork. Most of them seem to be against racks that are fitted at the brake hole or on eyelets. That would not be the case for my bike since my fork doesn't have eyelets or a brake hole (this being a disc fork).
I was thinking about getting a rack that would fit into the axle and the bar, like this one bellow. A friend of mine would weld one for me. Would it still be a bad idea? I can't see any problems fitting the rack this way, but I would like the input of you guys :)
