I'm trying to fit a rack to my partner's Pinnacle Arkose. I bought the disc brake version of the Topeak Super Tourist DX, but the mounts seem to be too close together to fit the frame. Should I have got the non-disc version?

If the disc brakes are mounted on the chainstay rather than the seatstay, which looks like the case in your photo, the non-disc version might clear everything with no problem, but it might have the same overall spacing anyway. You could probably just pull them apart ("cold set them") enough to fit over the mounts, if it doesn't start to distort the rack too much?

Thanks. I think I’m going to send it back to Wiggle and go to an actual bike shop to see if I can find something that fits without having to bend it.
