Mojo: That's exactly the rack set-up I'll have shortly. An hourglass eyelet on the back side of the fork blade will pick up one set of the Tubus' upper mounting holes. A spacer is necessary to make it a solid mount. Another option is water bottle mounts thru the fork blades but Rivendell does not recommend drilling holes in their forks. Don't know how the tubing used on an Atlantis fork compares to that of an LHT but one would think they'd be quite similar.
The beauty of the Duo is the ease of packing & shipping. My Nitto Big Rear Rack requires careful packing to get everything in the shipping box. I love Nitto racks, functionally & aesthetically, but needed something simpler & more compact. dougP On May 12, 10:01 am, Mojo <gjtra...@yahoo.com> wrote: > For my touring bike, a Surly LHT, I use a Nitto M12 on top and Tubus > Duo lowriders below.
