I dont.
I would just prefer to have two brakes when freewheeling, when the time comes. Just want to see how I get on with it really..
Basically, as it stands, I'm pretty set on not keeping this for another year or very long after the trip. So seeing if this kind of setup will be enjoyable/to my preference etc and perhaps even change my mind.
Also reason I'm after a front rack and not saddle bag is because I came across this photo:
As I already have a backpack (coincidentally identical to the one in the pic), I dont really want to be spending more on extra bags and may aswell fork the money out on something that may be of use again in future i.e. a front rack...
I may have a problem however.
I have a Wald basket which doesnt mount correctly to my forks. Like the bit past the droopout comes outwards and fouls the rack mount arms. Maybe upgrade the fork with a second hand good quality one while I'm at it?
