Liam- Yes, the Tubus Tara Big Apple has a larger hoop over the tire, to fit the aforementioned tire. Your "standard" Tara doesn't give enough clearance.
Also the horizontal struts are supposed to be horizontal so you can attach your pannier clips to them. Panniers may not like the angled struts, and it could tilt the panniers back enough to cause other problems (toe overlap, handling, etc). I agree that the best solutions would be: 1) Tubus Tara Big Apple, with Tubus Mid-Fork eyelets to keep the struts horizontal or 2) a different front pannier rack (Hub Area Rack, or many other options) On Thu, Feb 1, 2018 at 7:55 AM, Liam Allen <liamallenspen...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi there, > > Just found this and wanted to put my problem to you. > I've bought a TUBUS TARA Lowrider rack to put up the front of my > Appaloosa.
