I've got a Nashbar carbon fork (made by Evo) that has both disc and canti mounts. It also has fender mounts behind the dropouts and that one hole in the middle of the crown.

I'm using disc calipers with it so was wondering if there is pannier rack on the market that could make use of the available holes - crown, canti and fender eyelets.

Is it a big no-no to use the fender eyelets to bear any of the weight of a pannier?

Velo-Orange makes one to fit on canti brake studs.

Then you can buy my Ostrich rando bag and decaleur and you'll be set.

Should have clarified, looking for the two low rider bags but being able to add a bag up top by the bars is a secondary plus.

yes, just about every front rack will let you use the brake hole in the fork crown and the skewer. the brake post mount racks generally are for lighter loads, I'm not sure why

Take a look at Pass & Stow. Flat rack with crossbars for panniers.

Currently using quick release fenders so only the crown hole is taken up.
Also removed the canti bosses but those can be threaded back in easily.

No I wouldn't attempt to bolt a lowrider rack to that fork. It would require clamping it to the mid-blades of the fork. It just wasn't designed for this sort of load.

I'd pass on that idea if I were you.

Wouldn't a cetma half rack work?

This Axiom Journey DLX Lowrider could be an option.
