You can get shorter stays for those Metro racks which will allow you to mount it to the mid-blade eyelets and in turn, make the rack stiffer.

Thats interesting, thanks for the tip. This is actually a rack from a bike that was being sold at the shop I occasionally help out at. The bikes (by a brand called Apollo - but not the shitty British brand of the same name) all came with front and rear racks but most people that bought them didn't want the fronts. Who makes the metro rack? If the stays are interchangable then I'll keep my eyes peeled for them and give it a try.

I've not posted here for a while. My Straggler still keeps making me smile and has been getting a decent amount of use this summer.
