I wouldn't mount anything on those mounts. They're for mudguards, not any sort of load

I have a bor yeuh front rack, but also have a drilled fork crown. It mounts on those mudguard eyelets and has been fine with up to 3kg load (steel frame though). Would agree with phildas on heavier load.

Same issue with my sonder. Mounted a wald 137 using the bar mount/fender eyelets. It works fine. Have a jack the rack on the way to replace it.

Yo.
I need some rack help. I just bought a new gravel bike (Dolan GXA) and I am probably going to use it as my commuting bike through the autumn and winter. I have a Carradice Nelson and some Apidura/Restrap bar bags, but there are going to be days when I want to ride in and take a backpack/satchel with my laptop etc.
So I am thinking front rack. The fork has mounts at the drop-outs and a mount at the rear of the fork crown so I think this rules out - for example - the Specialized pizza tray/mount or whatever it's called, which seems to rely on mid-fork blade mounts and a front fork crown mount.
Anyone got any suggestions on what might/will work for me? I've attached a few photos - sorry they're a bit busy in the background, I just snapped them quickly with the bike in the lock-up.
Cheers!
