I played with it yesterday and I don't think it's going to work without major finagling. The included bolt that hangs from the brake bolt almost touches the front tire. I should have got the Marks rack but the price was off putting but now I'm out $55 (no returns on VO specials). Oh well live and learn.

Another big part to the Marks Rack versatility is that is can be mated to a platrack. Four Nitto front racks (two Marks, two Mini Fronts) in my stable. One Platrack means any of those four bikes can be set up Porteur style at the drop of a hat. That reminds me..it's getting close to the time to pick which bike is going on the Angel Island S24O in two weeks. On Apr 22, 11:03 pm, "J.
