The trap interfered with my tires so it had to go, but honestly I wanted a
cleaner look to begin with. I suppose it is lighter now, but in this case
aesthetics was the driver. Think of it as a Swiss taillight bracket.

I looked at my Modell C and RS racks and see if you just cut the spring the
whole trap comes off. I test fitted the RS on my 1988 Schwinn Voyaguer and
it seems mouse trap does not interfere with the SKS P45 fenders I have
(700x32 tires). The height of the brake bridge sets the rack hei
Beautiful!!! Enjoy!

As I recall I used a bolt cutter on the springs and it basically flew apart.
Might want to wear eye protection. No damage to the rack once the spring

Did you use the Pletscher stays with the Nitto stay bolts or did you use
Nitto stays? Can you provide a close picture of the rack and the stays?
Really a nice concept and execution.
I have 3 old Pletscher racks and would love to try this on one of them.
What model did you modify?

For the rear rack, I drilled out the riveted stays on the Pletscher, enlarged
the holes a touch, and the Nitto stay bolt thingies made the job easy. I also
drilled a hole in the middle of the bracket at the bridge. The frame has a flat
there, so no need for a concave bridge washer. The rack is v
Very worthy of an RBW 25th anniversary model.

Very nice, especially the rear rack. Can you explain what you did to the
rack other than remove the spring trap. I see you bolted the curved end
into the brake bridge. What about the stays?
