This is the answer to a question on how I mounted the Surly Front Rack on my Kona Sutra 2019, that was asked by a reader in my review of the bike post.
Basically I following these 2 guides that I found from Surly.
The tricky part was to figure out what plates to use.
- Lower offset sliding plate
- for the lower mounting
- Upper offset sliding plate
- For the upper mounting
Also, the Kona Sutra came ready with mounting points on the fork, so that is a fixed point as well.

The hardest part was to actually straighten it out once all points were in place. I.e. the rack tends to move around when you try to adjust it by loosening, adjusting and tightening. But that was solvable with some patience.
So, hope this helps someone out there!
