I had to space out where it mounts at the fork a fair bit in order to clear the canti straddle thing. I need a slightly longer bolt as the straddle touches the mount. I’ll get a longer bolt, but in the meantime this should be fine right? Other than probably making an annoying noise when I ride it.

I had similar issues with my old British Eagle and a Pelago rack.

Had to gently persuade the fork mount, and use unorthodox bolt/spacer combo. Ended up ditching the cantis in the end as they fouled panniers when clipped to the sides.

I’ve ordered a longer bolt which will clear the canti straddle. I’m not sure if having a bolt that long introduces any issues in terms of how much weight it can bear though. I do have my vague plan of putting disc brakes on this though, which would solve the issue anyway.
