Hi,
I am attempting to modify a CX bike for light touring, and need to
mount a rear rack. There is a single set of eyelets in the rear. Is
it possible to mount the rack and fenders using the same set of
eyelets? Do most rack manufacturers include bolts long enough to do
this? Are there disadvantages to this approach? Will both be
secure? I realize several models made by Tubus and BG have fender
mounting locations built-in to the rack which would solve the dilemna
described above, but I was thinking about trying an Old Man Mountain
rack. I like the idea of attaching the rack to the cantilever bosses,
because my bike does not have seatstay bosses.
Thanks.
Brad
