I like the Tara rack too, but I have found that it did not fit well on some of my bikes. It has only minimal adjustability.

Tubus used to make a rack called the Ergo, that had two sets of mounting points on the hoop instead of one set for the horizontal bars to attach to, that fit much better on one of my bikes.

I bought a Tara to use on a different bike and it fit so poorly, I ended up putting the Tara on the shelf and buying a different rack for that bike.

Later, when I built up my titanium bike with a LHT fork on it, the Tara fit nicely on that so I finally found a place to use it.
