My issue is that my yoke is right in front of my fork crown. I currently have a sunlite gold tec which I don’t fully trust – but is the only rack with mounting hardware that works well for my situation. Iv been looking at getting the Velo Orange Randonneur (https://velo-orange.com/collections/front-racks/products/vo-rando-front-rack-cantilever ) and bending the hell out of the tang to make to work. Does anyone have other recommendations for canti-mounted (or other) front racks that would potentially be compatible ?
Thanks!

You could potentially get a longer crossover cable, which could solve your problem without requiring a different rack.
Bend the tang
Here you have a thread that can help. Of the mentioned brands, I only know Surly first hand and can’t say anything but good things about their products.

Look for an old Blackburn like this. If you don’t have the mid fork mount, you can use a p clamp.
