Hey! Newbie to the touring world here. I have a Kona Rove DL 2021 frame, and looking at getting a front rack set up organised. After some research, the Tubus Duo and Tubus Tara look like excellent, light reliable choices which run nice and low on the bike.
My understanding is that the Duo requires "lowrider eyelets on the inside and outside", whilst the Tubus does not. However, I must admit my understanding of eyelet terminology is not up-to-scratch, and as such I'm not actually sure whether my bike would support it. I also haven't been able to find any good learning resource for understanding this specific case of eyelet requirements in my usual sources online.
If I had to trust my limited knowledge, I would say no, and that I would need an additional eyelet running parallel to the one I have at the moment. But I'm hoping to get conclusive advice from others!
Cheers!
That's very generous of you! I'll take you up on that offer. I'm especially grateful as it's not easy to find Tubus products over here. I would've likely had to have it shipped from elsewhere in the EU anyway. And no worries about timing, feel free to reach out when you're back home and we can move things forward then :). The lights look great too; I'll absolutely get a pic of them on display in my lanshan!
