Front panniers for a silly fork

[fossyant]

I would urge caution on those. I think they are mudguard mounts.

That's what they look like to me, to clear the disc. Certainly not rack mounts, not on carbon.

Found online, I'll get some better pictures of mine soon

mounts are on the outside of the fork, not the inside. And seem to be reasonably well engineered into the carbon with large metal (steel?) lugs.

With no lower eyelets, you could use a Tubus QR adaptor and fit a Tara, or you can opt for a high rider platform rack and use the fork crown bolt hole.

Is the Limpet system the sort of thing you're looking for?

Image shamelessly lifted from the Internet. I have a set of these. The U shaped bar is fixed at the dropouts via a slightly longer skewer. I have steel forks so I'm not sure mine would work with fatter forks. I take it the design has moved with the times?

Crikey, They look well made but £80+?! Eeeeeeesh

Man of the people. Thanks! @User , Given the picture above from the front do you imagine that it might do the trick?

Also, after some digging, have found these which seem sensibly priced and hefty enough to take the estimated 6kg on each side I'll be aiming for. Seem sensible?

Hang on you have rack mounting points at crown and mid fork, you want something that fits those not skewer mounts surely?

I'm not sure they're in a typically "rack mounting" position - more for mudguards, though they look sturdy enough and I'm happy to use them if I can find something that fits.
