Anyone fitted a rack to rear theirs yet?
I was just about to but then realised that those brake and mech bracket things are obstructing the threaded fixing points for the rack!

    afraid I can't be any help - worth a call to your local dealer?

    You'll probably need a disc specific rack, if not the p-clips will work. However you won't be able to carry as much junk!

    i havent tried, but thought about it. and yes you are correct.

    the disc side has the "extra" screw which previously was'nt there to hold the mount. this was added at a later date due to orange making a bullsup. what was happening was that the rear disc side drop out was coming loose due the disc caliper being mounted on the dropout rather than the frame.

    when braking this would then over time wiggle and work the rear drop out loose - then the screws failed and sheared off.

    SOOO, therefore Orange have bodge it. BUT it does not come loose now!

    it is well documented...somewhere on here...google?

    apparently there are racks you can use that fix to the seatpost....i.e for full susser bikes. there was a post recently
