As mentioned above, I really wanted to run front panniers with my carradice on the rear. The project 2 forks don’t have bosses which made things difficult, however a quick look on the Spa website showed some bosses that clamp to the fork legs. Being that it’s a steel fork and weighs a ton I figured that obviously this would be a safe option.
Rack and bosses ordered, they turned up eventually in a pretty beaten up box. Fitting instructions were...German but had handy pictures which even a dullard like me could follow.
It sits a bit lower than expected but after adjusting the panniers they seem fine. Having just got back from a freezing spin, I can confirm that there was no scuffage from mad lean angles so all is good. The Jones bars need rolling back a little as they put quite a bit of pressure on the outside of my palms. But other than that, I think it’s done. Maybe...
