Finally got round to getting the wald on my rockhopper using aforementioned bodge. I haven’t tried it out properly yet as I need to pop a new cassette on the bike first, but it feels fairly sturdy. Certainly for carrying the odd pastry/jacket/at the very most a small tent and camping stove. Feel like it’s a bit high though, and I’d need a different crown mounted plate thing to lower it.
Top plate is a placeholder until I either cut off the bent bit, replace with something similar, or just buy a canti mounted rack.
