Spent a few hours pissing about with this today, still got the rear guard tomorrow... Give me strength. Still needs some fettling to get guard perfect and the rack spot on. New wheels and tyres too, rear wheel has an issue though, bearing have been replaced but not pressed properly (in lopsided and protruding out), need to check that out tomorrow actually, remove them and refit. Hopefully no damage to faces of hub, will see tomorrow.
You might be better off using the tabs that came with the rack and putting the front hub bolts through them. Then you'll have an eyelet further forward on the fork ends that will allow you to level the rack without getting in the way of the brake cable or fender.
what are the calipers? looking for a nutted front double pivot caliper for claud because the single pivot just doesnt cut it.. something tektro isnt it?
