I have one, but it is on a fixed gear with 27 inch rims. The
narrowest part is the front stays. I just measured mine and the
narrowest part measures 2 inches wide and is 13-1/8 inch up the stay
from the mounting hole. Tubus has technical drawings of the side of
the rack at their website. If no one chimes in with actual
experience, that should be enough information to draw a triangle or
cut a template out of cereal box and figure out if it will work.
