I have a 2008 Specialized Sirrus Comp and I'm looking for a front
pannier rack for it. I'm having a hard time finding one.
I think the problem is that it's a carbon fork, and it
only has eyelets on the bottom of the fork.
Here's a description of the fork (from the Specialized web page):
"Specialized FACT carbon, bonded carbon legs, Cr-Mo threadless steerer,
Zertz inserts, fender mounts".
I'm looking at the Delta FrontLoader which looks like it
might fit. However, several places are saying that putting
a rack like this on a carbon fork isn't recommended, but
they can't tell me exactly why.
Does anybody have any ideas about this? Is the fork not
strong enough? Might something get scratched?
Thanks,
