Trying to get a disc break and fatter tyres onto my pre cursa.

Currently thinking
Surly straggler fork
Slx lever
105 caliper
A rotor(?)

I’m not really up to date on disc hub tech- but I think I need something without a thru axle?

Is there a really obvious decent quality disc front wheel? I’m a bit out my depth!

The rub....
I have a Blb frontier rack -

This has been the single most useful addition to my bike so need to make sure it all works together.

Any alternative suggestions? If I got a thru axle fork, are there thru axle front rack adapters? Help!

There are solutions to mounting racks like that on disc hubs but if you're buying a straggler fork, I believe it has mid fork mounts so you could get a different rack which mounts there.

It should be lighter and stiffer with shorter stays than mounting on the axles.

Can’t see any mid fork mounts on the straggler... also- now I look, seems like they are all out of stock anyway.
