Looks like an awesome adventure. Makes me want to go for S24O. Yes, the dirty Atlantis looks very cool!
I think that the front rack you have is designed to be mounted on the lower eyelet of the front fork-end. They are designed for 700C bikes, and most 700C bikes have only one eyelet for each front fork-end. I have a same rack, and I first mounted it on higher eyelet like you do, and then moved it to lower eyelet. It looked like a small change, but I could handle the bike lot better.
