Suggestions please for a front rack for my Fargo.
Not for panniers but my tent or sleeping bag.
Thanks in advance

No long vertical struts for stuff to get caught on, off road rated up to £25 KG and if you get bored of the Fargo you can put in on a front suspension fork or on the back of almost anything regardless of disc brakes etc.

You can also upgrade to a 'tour' deck later on if you want to run panniers.

Does that tick the boxes?

I've got a Tubus front rack on mine that I use with panniers. The Tubus Tara which has the hoop which goes over the tyre is a very tight fit.

I suspect for your pannier less needs will need to look at Salsa's own front rack or the Surly rack.

Bolbo and I did our trans Scotland ride self supported with just a rear rack and panniers In about four days of real riding.

You could go for one of those mini racks the trendies have on the fixies

Also google Nitto M12

If your tent and bag are compact and fairly light, could you strap them to the fork leg with a Salsa Anything cage?

Edit: This on eBay?

Why not run something like a Wildcat Mountain Lion harness?
