  • After lurking on here for a bit, I decided to go with the Pelago rack. Just installed it on my steamroller last night.
    However, there was a big space between the drop outs and fork ends, solved that by using the spacers provided. But Pelago said that the spacer should only be used for the eyelet drop outs.

    Can some one tell me if this is unsafe? Thanks

  • depends how much of that bolt is actually threaded into the axle. typically you want 1 - 1.5 times the nominal bolt diameter worth of tread length engaged. even more if the axle / bolt is aluminium.

  • Thanks for the advice, I'll need to check. Not sure if I have a longer hardware, probably need to go to a bike shop.
