Turns out the stem wasn't straight. Nailed that, got some cable ferrules from the insanely grumpy man at the bike shop (probably sick of people trying to buy ferrules) removed the non working rack and attached this rack.
Rear derailleur is improved but still not great in big cogs. Its like it shifts up into the, but if i back pedal it falls off. Don't really get it, can't tighten the cable much more or it goes past the shifting down at the bottom.
I just realised probably the answer is to re tighten the entire system and start again, probably when it's at its slackest there's not enough tension in the cable so I need to tighten everything even further. Snap I just tidied everything away. Oh well. A job for tomorrow, probably the cables will stretch overnight anyway.
