Default Front Racks on a MTB Suspension Fork?

I'm thinking about doing a cycle tour in Argentina/Chile for three months... we'll probably looking to spend as much time on dirt/shingle as we can...

What is the best front rack, pannier combination with this in mind??

At the moment I'm based out of Brazil (no good bikeshops) what's a good web retailer to order these bits from...

Cheers
Matt

That would be one of my dream tours....

I'd be looking for panniers that could take the punishment and make it out alive. I don't have suspension, and I've never been in and out of Patagonia -- so this isn't from experience. Just pointers.

Here's three web shops I've used, they all seem to have the same database. I understand Jandd bags are rugged, but I'm sure there are others.

http://aebike.com/site/page.cfm?PageID=30&Category=2

AEBike always has low prices, and I'm always happy with their service. Just a satisfied customer. There are several front racks showing "for suspension forks", on all 3 sites.

Hope this helps

Old Man Mountain makes nice racks that should work for you.
They deal direct and through dealers.
