Anyone have pics of their Stumpjumper with racks?
I ordered these cheap racks off amazon. I’m liking so far.

I had a version of that front rack, but made the mistake of mounting a basket to it; broke that flimsy metal bar that runs to the fork crown.

Campfire wood fetcher - for serious loads.
Use old rear racks and reverse mount for fork application. Cantilever cable brake straddle need to feed through the now, rear portion of rack. Option is to cutoff that section. Mount to lower fork braze-one and center hole at the crown. Do NOT mount to canti brake studs!
Robust and easily carry 100+ lbs., but exceeding safe handling limits- caveat if one gets off the saddle before unloading cargo, you may end up doing a front endo.
