minus-squareetymosis@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoWhat rack do you have there? I have what looks to be a similar problem, a bike without eyelets but I desperately want more storage
minus-squaresuperkret@feddit.deOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-21 year agoIt’s a Tubus Vega Evo. It comes with 2 struts that usually connect to eyelets on the seatstays. I connected one to a clamp I had left over from this adapter set: https://www.tubus.com/en/products/accessories-rear-carriers/tubus-product/clamp-set The other strut I just didn’t mount because the rear shifter cable runs along the right seatstay. At the bottom, the rack mounts to the rear quick release axle with yet another adapter set: https://www.tubus.com/en/products/accessories-rear-carriers/tubus-product/adapter-set-for-qr-axle-mounting It’s an expensive set-up but I’ve been using the same rack and adapters on multiple bikes for the past 15 years.
