I was trying to fit my new mini front rack this morning and there isn't space between the top of the mudguard and the canti straddle wire to fit it to the fork crown - the straddle wire is slap-bang in the way. I think all I need to do is fit a longer canti straddle wire, to raise it's height, so that the rack support will go under it.
Before I do this, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something obvious. A longer straddle wire won't have a disastrous effect on braking performance will it? My brakes are tektro oryx.
Thanks.
