The Salsa fork is nice, but (mine at least) is very forgiving, as such - you could get mounts brazed on, but I don't know that it would be tough enough for serious loaded abuse. Great to ride though, and it does cope with disc brake forces, so maybe it'd be fine, IANA framebuilder.
Both the Hope 1 1/8"-1 1/4" adapter, which you fit the crown race over, and the Cane Creek 1 1/8"-1 1/4" adapter, which is itself the crown race, stay with the fork, so wouldn't be any more faff to switch than a tapered fork

Some sweet bikes in here.
Question for you all: is there such a thing as a tapered, 15mm through-axle, 29er fork with eyelets (etc.) that would take a Blackburn Outpost front rack? Want to buy the rack for a monstercross/frankenbike thing I'm building but it would be nice if I could also fit it to my modern "good" MTB on a new fork. Then I could have drop bars on an 90s MTB for light-duty bikepacking/touring/carrying shit around town and a straight-bar 29er for proper off-road bikepacking.
Surly do this which is what I want but with a straight steerer. (I believe you can get headset adapters or something to take a straight steerer but that's an extra level of faff that would probably result in me never swapping the fork.) Salsa do this but no mount points. Thoughts?
Alternatively is there any way to mount it on a suspension fork with no eyelets at all? 99.9% sure the answer is no unless there's some sort of 15mm-through-axle-adapter-and-huge-P-clamp combo that I can bodge it with.
