Lisa --- that isn't a concern because the rack is rigid and can't collapse onto itself. The only thong the p- clamp does is prevent the rack from falling forward or rearward. If the bottom of the rack is attached to eyelets, then the rack cannot slide down any further since it is a rigid structure.

I am in the process of purchasing an Atlantis for touring and I've been watching this thread with interest, because my Atlantis frame doesn't have mid-fork rack eyelets. I've going to use the Nitto Big Front Rack instead of the Tubus Nova because of concerns about using clamps on the Nova. The Tubus lowrider racks all have a pivot where the horizontal bar that holds your panniers attaches to the arc that goes over the front of the wheel. So it seems to me that, if the other end of the pannier bar is only clamped to the fork, the clamp may tend to slide down toward the axle. I'm not the only one worried about this, see for instance this image: http://images.erck.org/Site/Gear_AtlantisRack307X230.jpg Lisa On May 11, 5:33 pm, Rene Sterental <orthie...@gmail.com> wrote: I found this photo...http://www.flickr.com/photos/22253...@n00/3868497649/in/set-721576224...
