Gotta mount directly with just one bolt, so sans triangles – anybody done this? do I need to drill out the threads on the rack?
Yeah, I never used the triangles. I found i had to drill through the approprite mount on the rack, otherwise the thread in the mount sort of 'undid' the bolt if that makes sense.
Washer either side of bolt and you're absolutely fine, doesn't effect the strength, loads of racks don't have threaded mounts.
no probs, one thing is use a drill bit that is only just a tiny bit bigger to just remove the threads. I think I used a 4.5mm bit, but could have been a 5, or 5.5. Can't remember exactly! but easiest to start with smallist and work up if required.
