I’ve had the same question, but about my latest gen Appaloosa. I don’t understand why the Appaloosa doesn’t include fork braze ons to work with standard low rider racks.
It’s only supposed to be for thru-fork joints, but they have a blog post showing it mounted on an Appaloosa.
Has anyone managed to mount a Tubus low rider or similar?

Thanks for the input, Armand! I see your point, and it's a good one. I'd need to take a measure of the Gamoh adapters, but if the spacing was right, I should be able to distribute the forces across two other points of attachment besides the QR: In theory, I could run the fender stay bolts through the hole on the Gamoh that lines up with the rear-facing braze-on on my fork dropout (assuming it also lines up with the QR axle - but that would remain to be seen). So that would be one direct mount to the fork. The other direct mount would be the crossbar on my Tubus rack that mounts to the mid-fork stay. I would like to think that triangulation of forces would take a lot of the burden off the QR. But again, I'm just speculating here.

I wouldn't trust two panniers riding on a QR axle. I know you said you want to maintain your front rack setup, but would be best do ditch it and go with something like a https://global.bluelug.com/nitto-big-front-rack-34f-silver.html
Thank you John! See, I knew at least one of you would remind me that such a solution existed. Forgot about the Gamoh. I’ve actually used them before to make lighting brackets. They’re original intent would suit my needs perfectly it seems! Hey Brian,
Is it possible that a Mark's Hub Area rack would work? The only thing you'd need to add is something like the Gamoh rack adapter ( bluelug.com) so that you'd have attachment points at the fork dropouts. Just a thought.
Cheers, John

Hi all! I'm looking for suggestions on how I can run some low front panniers on my 26" Toyo Atlantis that DOESN'T involve putting clamps around my fork blades, and allows me to keep the canti rack as-is. My issue is that my Atlantis only has one set of braze-ons at the rear of my fork dropouts. My options would be wide-open if only my "touring" frame had all the appropriate mounting points to live up to its potential... but I digress. I really hate the look and the thought of pipe clamps - always have. Also, this bike will have fenders most of the time, so that complicates things a bit as well.
I own a Tubus Nova that I love, and hoped would work with this bike, but sadly it just won't given this configuration. I thought I would throw my conundrum out to the group to see if there's some solution that I'm just not thinking of.
Cheers! Brian Lexington, KY
