Sunlight also made those racks. But since no new bikes have canti posts any more, not sure if the racks are still made.
If your bike has those, that may work for you.
I have used those racks with a home made bracket with two p-clamps on a bike with no canti bosses. I wouldn't try it with carbon fiber, but on metal tubes it would work on front or back. They are desighned for the front, but I have used them on the back as welll when I wanted a little short rack.
You can still find them for sale, but maybe not still in production so maybe new old stock. They used to be everywhere for $10-12, but I think they are a little more now.
