I bought a Blackburn Outpost. Fuck me, fitting it is torture. I stripped half the paint off in the process. The struts at the top of the rack are jammed through a hole in a fitting and it's like an interference fit with the tubing of the rack, so super tight. I got it to work eventually but I was hoping to transfer it between bikes, which is impossible with such a lengthy install.
@platypus did you buy/fit yours? Have I done it wrong or something?
Once i worked out how the bits go together it was a straightforward install. Probably took about 30 mins and no swearing. It was the second rack I ever installed after a minoura gamoh (also easy).. I’m surprised people have had issues.
