    These things are front rack bosses according to ceeway. I think they're a bit big. Could file them here & there I suppose. Any other options? Are they even supposed to be used like this?

  • I have a fork with one of those at the bottom as well as mid-blade bosses (like the one @TheShipwright posted). I guess the advantage is that they can take a bolt from either side so might be worth having them if you ever want to mount mudguards on the inside of the fork so it's a bit neater. You could also put them at the bottom near the dropouts and use a porteur rack rather than something that mounts mid-blade.

    But more generally drilling a fork in the middle of the blade sounds a bit scary to me - I know next to nothing about frame/fork modification though

    Edit: now that I think about it I'm not sure how you'd mount mudguards on the inside of the fork using one of those really - would look odd because it's offset to the front or back of the fork blade, obviously. Not sure what I was thinking.

  • Yeah but no but yeah but no but etc

    I think it'll be fine, have watched a couple of vids plus these forks aren't built with super thin tubing. Will see which reinforcement plate looks best when they arrive.
