For all the pedal pushers out there that love long distance cycling. There are no gear requirements and no 'minimum distances' here.
Have you ridden for a cheeky overnighter or a 3 year global trek? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.
Have you got panniers, bikepacking bags or just a backpack with the essentials? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.
Have you got the latest in carbon engineering or your dads old 10 speed from the 70's? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

Hey! Thanks very much for the help. Now I see exactly the issue; I would need braze-ons that are drilled through to both sides of the fork. The terminology I was finding elsewhere online kept tripping me up, but the explicitness of your big red circle was very clear, so thanks again. Regarding your enticing Tara offer: I'm in Helsinki, Finland. In my experience there aren't the greatest shipping rates out to here, but I'm at least interested to hear what you would be looking for for it :)
I had a look at shipping rates. I think shipping should be 16,49 €, so i could make the lemmy special offer of 25 € total. Plus you get a free ultralight camp light to go with it :)
I will only be home in about ten days. The tara is used but in good condition. I bought it used but have never used it myself. I did do a test mount though, all mounting material is there. I can pm you photos when i'm back home if you're interested.
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!
Sweet, i'll pm you some pics when i'm home then.
Lanshan looks like a cool tent!
