Gang,

I should just ask the crew, but figure the knowledge is in here as well...

Is it functionally possible to set up a Mark's Rack on a canti-bossed
(and non-midfork-eyelet) bike without resorting to p-clamps? E.g.,
using "Campee" struts
(http://www.benscycle.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=7978)
and diving board to the fork crown?

Thanks

pretty sure you can fudge it to make it work. I always tell people if it doesn't fit, force it in.

Just took some measurements. I think those struts are too short. I think you need more like 160-180 depending on the bike.

I was thinking about trying this on one of my bikes and then gave up. Went with p-clamps instead.
