front rack for Surly LHT?

[Heltor Chasca]

Sorry. Maybe being dim, never given this much thought.

You mean the touching could encourage rust?

By first rubbing paint off?

Yes. Although the quality of Surly’s paint is high, they don’t finish with lacquer.

If the diagonal bit of the rack contacts the fork blades, the best thing to do is to add a spacer between the frame braze on and the rack. I often use a spare valve locknut.
