Consider using rubber-covered p clamps to attach a rack to the forks. There is little weight on those connections, so the p clamps work well. You can find them at any decent hardware store.

don't think it's the rack you need to shop for so much as a way to attach it. something like this is being talked about in another thread

you can buy a different seat post band clamp with additional threaded holes for the rack struts
and use The QR Skewer itself for the bottom mount..
