I'm in the process of turning my old 2003 model Inbred into something more hack bike including trying to fit a rack. The problem is that the BB7 disc brake caliper fouls the leg of the rack (I don't no if this is a common problem with disc brake and rack setups or just on the Inbred).
The BB7 caliper (being mechanical) is pretty chunky and if I bend the leg outward to clear the caliper and brake arm it's going to be around 2 inches out on a very long bolt and due to the dog leg design of the rack legs I'm not sure that I can bend them around behind the caliper.
Does anyone have any tips for fitting a rack to an Inbred with disc brakes fitted?
Pack the caliper side out with some old nuts over a long bolt.....

a BB7 caliper can't be much bigger than the Magura Julie caliper in the above pictures can it?
Try this from Tubus. Extension kit for your rack, part no 70024

Could be worth a try but the acctuation arm on the BB7 is going to push it out another 3/4" - 1" further out than in your picture.
