Velo-Orange have special linkages that connect their Campeur Rack to the cantilever brake posts. It’s a very solid connection! Velo-Orange rack linkage

It looks like a perfect solution to a lot of rack issues I’m having.

I thought it was an IRD but since it was 5 years ago, I’m not 100% sure. The chainring was a drillium ring (V-O?) that I machined the teeth off of. Hope that helps!

May I ask what the crankset / chainguard are?
