rear rack for disc

landotter said:

I've searched the net and not found an adequate answer. Yes, there are
a few specialty racks for this, but I'm thinking I shouldn't have to do
that.

On the new bike, there is a stout eyelet directly across from the top
brake mount. There are also threaded braze-ons on the seat stays, so
that end of things is a non-issue.

So I'm thinking of getting one of the adustable racks, setting it to
the lowest setting, and using the brake mount and that unthreaded
eyelet.

Good idea? Or am I barkin up the wrong tree?

Sounds good, just make sure the longer bolt/bar you use on the brake
mount is nice and sturdy, don't want anything breaking free.

Even better, Alfred E. Bike has this for $23:

I just mount the rack to the top disc mount on one side with a slightly
longer than usual bolt and via a p-clip on the other. Never had any
problems with this arrangement.

I'm more worried that it will ride high, than that it will work. :P

Hmmm, maybe I'll try a regular rack after all. The weight limit on the
disc Delta is a crappy 30 pounds.
