These are interesting prospects…

I got this rack though because it was fairly small. The milk crate looks great but is too big for what I want on this bike.

The stays that mount on the fork legs are not tapered and there’s plenty of space to shove them up into the rack more. I tried lowering everything last night and eventually reached the limit of my physics knowledge. After the second time a seemingly small move caused all of the finger-tight attachment points (that took me 20 minutes to get into place) to explode off the rack, I gave up and went to bed.

On an unrelated note, I don’t think these 56cm wide drop bars are really for me.

yes as opposed to trying to get someone from amazon on the phone or something which is basically impossible.  
speaking of which, i have had multiple interactions with multiple different amazon corporate people and have been EXTREMELY underwhelmed

I’m not being sarcastic! I like the simplicity of it, it’s way less annoying than being cast into the ZenDesk hellzone
