Front rack without mount points?

[MontyVeda]

Old Man mountain front racks attach via the axle and brake bosses.

I've got one, it's great.

This wouldn't work for the OP on account of the carbon forks having no cantilever/V brake bosses.

Apologies - I did read the initial post twice to check that there was no mention of carbon - but then see that the OP gave this info further down.

So my suggestion of those Tubus bits not relevant.

I do commend them to folks with steel forks with no mounts though.

P clips? ...self fettled big ones.

Any rack that clamps the forks (and even those that fit proper low-rider bosses, although the risk is somewhat less) can twist into the front wheel unless there is a hoop going over the front tyre and joining the two sides (e.g. Tubus Tara). Yes, it looks bad and may get in the way of a fork crown-mounted light, but it is much safer.

as long as you don't have downtube gear shifters this could always work , or some variation
