I'm trying to figure out how that piece fits under the headtube. They also have another rack similar that will attach to the front fender mount. That *may* work in my case but since my bike is pretty small, I think my cantilever brake cable might just be exactly in the way.

I don't have internally routed brake cables so I'm thinking of going that rack mount instead of a handlebar bag.

A daruma bolt hangs from the caliper brake bolt that passes through the fork crown. The drilled tang of the Randonneur rack slips over the daruma bolt and is secured with a nut. Give me a holler if you want to buy one at a reduced price*.




*I just installed one with an integrated decaluer on a bike that I had planned to use centerpull brakes with. I abandoned the centerpulls because there was no satisfactory way for me to install a rear cable stop and this rack will not work with the particular sidepulls I'm using because the front caliper uses a drop bolt and I don't think the tang is long enough to be bent the way I need it to. Classic case of putting the cart before the horse.

After seeing pics of your bike it seems to me that you want the Pass Hunter rack, not the Randonneur rack. It should work fine and install easily on your bike. I'm not sure if you can use the rack's bolt that goes through the fork crown to secure your front cable stop or not; you may need to use one that mounts under the headset top nut or one that clamps to the stem.

Cool!!! Thanks. The Pass Hunter fits in the canti bolts as well so bonus!

Yes, it includes the double ended bolts that you need as well as all sorts of other hardware you may or may not need.

Here's a pic of one installed on my Voyageur.
