@scotroutes – cheers. Just found some dimensions buried in the aeroe FAQs.
Looks like the fat rack is 200mm wide across the stays, and also says it can flex in by 20mm each side (so should flex to 160mm officially). Just measured my hardtail stays at 140mm….so another 10mm flex…might work?…Hmmm maybe.
Worst comes to the worst I could chop a section out of the middle and join the tubes back together, or even just get another tube fabricated (it’s not rocket science is it).
Cradles are surely worth £22.50 each if it doesn’t work and I need to sell them, so think I’ll stick with the order rather than cancelling I think.
Always fancied a go with the aeroe system it looks great for doing proper off road with a fair bit of gear.
