    and what if you have discs? or want to run a wider tyre?

    Get yer thinking cap on!

    I was just kidding.
    I use a dremmel, dril and cork when fitting mine.

    ^ Had some 10mm nylon stand-off spacers for the rear rack.

    Just taken some more pics – Few more ideas for you:

    My inbred with Genesis forks lacked some mounts, or I used the disc bolts:

    This is another old light bracket:

    On the rear I had to clear the traiiler hitch too, note the reversed bolt, inboard mounting if you like!
    Also note, it’s not a disc specific rack either.

    The rear of Mrs PPs Ridgeback was no problem:

    The front was spaced out on a longer bolt, using a road calliper brake fixing bolt this time:

    here is no chainstay brace to connect the bottom of the guard to – I ended up bodging something together using zip ties

    You can do the same as PP using a rear seatpost reflector bracket. Langsters don’t have a chainstay bridge either. Annoying but not insurmountable.
