You realise I was referring to the top strut right? It is built with two for use with the dual fork crown eyelets a-la Surly forks.
Polygon-
Ah. Yes. Apologies. Failed to engage brain before keyboard.
I would still run with both TBH. Those set screw based clamp things are really sensitive to clamping pressure; they have two settings, locked down completely and "oh look, they fell apart and are on the floor again." That was my experience at installation. A bit of redundancy on that connection would be prudent.

I had a 24 pack rack with a medium weight rack bag (laptop, clothes, bike tools) and under no circumstances would I run that with a single strut. The first serious pothole would have warped the rack. And that was with 40cm tyres too.
P-clips a good option? Or are you looking at something like a Lefty?
