If I had a threaded hole in the dropout, where would my problem be? The rear rack mounts the same way. If a rack+braking would shear off the canti posts, then clydesdales would be shearing off canti posts left and right on these bikes, and that's not happening. Of course if Calfee is sincerely saying that they tried and failed, that's one thing. If they have not sincerely tried to solve the problem, though and are saying "no" just to be safe, that's something else On Monday, July 28, 2014 10:13:31 AM UTC-7, Steve Palincsar wrote: > > On 07/28/2014 09:43 AM, Matthew J wrote: > > One reckons if it were possible they would certainly be offering such > > a thing as one of the good things about CF construction is variations > > do not take a whole lot of tooling. > > > > To be clear am talking about the small operation hand built CF stuff, > > not the molded Steve mentions above. > > Some of that stuff is clearly excellent; many of us have read the two BQ > reviews of the Calfees.
