Front rack for ridgeback voyage

[Tourer man]

Anyone have any ideas what rack and from where I can get a front rack for my ridgeback voyage? I would like a low loader style. Problem I am having is the front brake and mudguard make it impossible to fit one, or am I being thick..
Cheers

I use a Tubus Tara lowrider, You shouldn't have any problems fitting one on your Ridgeback. They are a little expensive but are solid and last forever.

They look a bit like the limpet style of rack/pannier. I used the limpet style as my bike doesn't have braze ons. They wouldn't get in the way of brakes or mudguards.

Now, can you recommend a pannier set ? I was thinking of Ortilieb as fully waterproof. just wondering what you use.

I use Ortlieb roller classics and cant recommend them highly enough. They are expensive but worth it if you plan on using them often.
Im not sure where to get the best deal on them at the moment so have a shop around. Its worth remembering Evans will price match most of the big online shops. and you can get cashback from Evans using Quidco so that brings the price down a little bit.
