I set the spacing at around 130 (plus the width of the drop outs). No problems were encountered on either bike. You could bend the tab angles outward a bit for a 120 spaced bike, but I don't think there would really be a need to. You'll find the change in angle is so small that the stainless will flex to conform.<BR/><BR/>ChrisVelo Orangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02835615331417822722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-1148480301726457462006-05-24T10:18:00.000-04:002006-05-24T10:18:00.000-04:00Chris,What drop out spacing are you anticipating t...Chris,<BR/><BR/>What drop out spacing are you anticipating this to be used with ?<BR/><BR/>I ask since a rack designed for, say 126 spacing will have to flare out quite a bit when spread for 135 spacing. Which in turn causes the mounting plates to not be parallel with the drop out braze-on mounts.<BR/><BR/>JohnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-1148477632197347082006-05-24T09:33:00.000-04:002006-05-24T09:33:00.000-04:00By the way, I compare this rack to the Tubus Luna ...By the way, I compare this rack to the Tubus Luna only because that's the closest stainless steel rack in size and shape. There are few choices in minimalist racks. The Luna costs $160.<BR/><BR/>ChrisVelo Orangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02835615331417822722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-1148476663806986752006-05-24T09:17:00.000-04:002006-05-24T09:17:00.000-04:00The weight is about 17 ounces.

I think we might get the weight a little lower on the production version.<BR/><BR/>ChrisVelo Orangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02835615331417822722noreply@blogger.com
