Question 4

Can this rack be used with Surly cross check forks

By Jim Storey

SJS Customer Service: · Answer

We do not think so because the dropout mount is on the back of the fork, had it been on the front we think this would have been suitable.

Thanks - 29/05/20

Do you sell separately the small part that bridges the frame to the front rack? Mine snapped after a few years.

Not the M part one, SJS Cycles part number : 34164 should do the job though!

Can I use this if fork has no eyelets midway?

By Bob

The bike is a hybrid with 28 x 1 3/8 tyres and only eyelets close to the front axle. This appears to need eyelets midway down the fork?

Question 15

Hello! Will This Rack Work With The Thorn Audax Fork?

By Andreas

21 Feb 2015

http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/700cthornaudaxmk3steelfork55mmoffsetprod17674/

SJS Customer Service: · Answer

Hi,

Although it would only require a small amount of bending to get this rack to fit to the Audax forks, the Thorn bikes team would not recommend fitting it to our forks. This is because these forks have only been designed to be used with low riders and are not designed to take the weight of luggage above the wheel.

Thanks.
