Has anyone used one of these on a 29er? There are a few comments on the site suggesting it would work but just wanted to see if anyone had experience of it.
I've got a Genesis Longitude M and the rear triangle seems to be pretty long and low putting it at the limit of adjustment on some racks.
Ta.
a mate had a thorn rohloff mtb for years. it came fitted with one. just good strong stuff.
and now pricy it seems, but all the good racks are.
i need a rack for my fargo. £130 iirc.
Not fitted this one, but fitted plenty of racks as a bike shop mechanic. Mostly it simply comes down to the length of the mounting struts/arms. I’m pretty sure SJS could give you the dimensions of the rack and you could measure it for yourself?
I had a Thorn Rack and it was good… on my Thorn Raven. I don’t know how well it would fit a Lonitude but it will need long rack struts which you may need to bend and cut. I have used a Tubus Cosmo on my Longitude and it fits quite well. But to make it fit you need to use a spacer between the rack and the frame (Tubus supply these but I’m not sure they come with the rack) and you probably need to buy/find longer rack struts.
