To make racks which work with all of my bikes I need eyelets which are a constant distance from the fork crown. Mid-fork eyelets are usually a constant distance from the dropouts. I''ve chosen 140mm as my distance because that is what Rivendell uses. The bike will probably get another set of mid-fork eyelets for a low-rider rack as well. Those will be at 165mm. I''m building it up first though. They are higher Jimmy. To make racks which work with all of my bikes I need eyelets which are a constant distance from the fork crown.

I assume a rack will be made that uses those mid-fork bosses? Are those in typical low-rider location, or a bit higher? Can”t wait to see the whole thing together and being ridden.

They are some of the best fillets that I''ve made. I don''t know if my luck was just flowing, or maybe my new fuel (switching from propane to Chemtane) has something to do with it. Thanks Alistair.

I''ll be following suit on one of those soon myself. You nailed the fillets on the canti studs. Nice, well defined edges on the brass. Alex, nice canti stud jig.
