Is there a reason I might not put a caliper brake on the inside of the seatstays to make space for a rack?
Think which way the braking forces are going...
(TT bikes have U brakes on the 'wrong' side of the frame though so maybe it's ok?)
I would have thought the bending force on the bolt and twisting on the stays is approximately the same and I doubt you'd strip the bolt thread from the pulling force if it's not already fucked...
