surly front rack might work depending on the mount spacing

Take a look at oldmanmountain.com. I use their racks on the front of 2 bikes without a center mount and those racks are insanely sturdy.

A Minoura front rack will work with the qr axle.
Looks like the fork designers had in mind the use of cargo cages with the 3 braze ons.

You likely could fit a low rider front rack like the Tubus Tara, though this would depend on the spacing between the eyelet at the dropout and the cargo cage mounts. You may also need to use spacers to clear the quick release and/or fork blades. Keep in mind, though, that this type of rack will put the panniers quite a bit lower to the ground – which is great for handling and balance but is not advisable on singletrack because it’s easier to catch your panniers on obstacles. It would also be wise to check the load limit on the fork.

Oldman mountain. Anchor the side struts to the fork mounts.

. They just use a 3 pack mount and work great
