what are my options for a steel 29er with rack mounts. i know theres the ogre and Fargo, but they are out of my price range. possibly the inbred....any forks with rack mount recomendations???

ive looked at the old man mountain racks, but they are also too expencive.

cheers

My inbred has rack mounts - but I'm pretty sure it fouled the disc calliper so I changed the rack for the type that mounts on the QR axle

I have been looking for one as well but not seem many options. I don't think that Genesis do one any more

Ooh, that ecr looks interesting.

What about an LHT? You can get smaller volume 29er tyres on it.

Blackburn racks have served me well and can be found cheap time to time

ok so I was going from the Genesis website. They only list the high Lattitude. But I'm not sure which year the website shows.

So is the Lattitude an ex bike

The fortitude is an ex-bike
The longitude is a new bike
The (high) latitudes are current / new bikes

Blackburn outpost racks are a good cheaper alternative to the old man mountain.

The front rack is axle mounted and I'm sure I've seen somewhere that the rear can be also.

I currently have a salsa el mariachi with an surly enduro fork which does the job well but the frame needs a specific rack or modification.

The blackburns aren't exactly much cheaper, with the Outpost front rack being £69.99 and the OMM being £89.99....

Topeak 29er specific disc specific rack works well for me has the figment for the rack pack should you need it so far seems really sturdy and was easy to fit

Still cheaper though and a good rack.
