For all the pedal pushers out there that love long distance cycling. There are no gear requirements and no 'minimum distances' here.

Have you ridden for a cheeky overnighter or a 3 year global trek? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

Have you got panniers, bikepacking bags or just a backpack with the essentials? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

Have you got the latest in carbon engineering or your dads old 10 speed from the 70's? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

I got this fork used from someone who claimed it was carbon, but I'm thinking it's not(?). A magnet doesn't stick to it, but it sounds lots like when I hit the key on a steel fork.

I'd like to add a lowrider front rack like Blackburn Lowrider , Zefal Touring Raider, or Axiom Journey DLX if it's not carbon.

I don't see any mounts for a front rack.
