I don’t think it would work through the rack mounts - i think it would still mean the straddle cable would be way too low. I do wonder if it would work on the seat clamp bolt though - it might clear the end of the top tube - at the moment the surly one I have doesn’t.
I’m very close to giving up on all of this and buying mini-Vs though. My main gripe with them is aesthetics and tyre clearance. I don’t want to use full Vs as I might want to put drops on this at some point (plus my flat bar levers are canti/road pull).
I’ve gone with some 90mm mini-Vs as well. Should be fine with the 40mm tyres in there at the moment, but was hoping to be able to go larger. We’ll see.
