Hi all. I have an original Kaffenback and want to upgrade the heavy/harsh forks. Currently use front racks and wandered about my options for this. Ribble do a reasonably priced carbon fork with V-mounts here:
http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/ribble-carbon-cross-blades/
Does anyone know of a front rack that would fit or any other way to make the bike more comfortable/lighter? e.g. carbon bars.

Thought about modding a rear rack to fit the fork but it could make the panniers a touch high.

They will only sell you the ones you posted in conjunction with a frame by the look of it.

These forks are only supplied when you also order a Ribble 7005 CX or CR1 Frame.

serves me right for not actually reading the blurb.

That seems weird. I'd be tempted to have a go at buying them anyway, it might be fine.

This rack will mount to any forks that have v-brakes
