Link wires are available in different sizes. See Sheldon Brown's site for info
http://www.sheldonbrown.com/cantilever-geometry.html#ca But can't your wire slip out of the non-anchored side, to allow your brakes to fully open? Beyond that, why not eschew the link wire altogether and use a simple straddle cable and yoke? You can then get the yoke up as high as you want, for clearance above the rack bolt. - Andrew, Berkeley On Mon, Dec 5, 2011 at 1:31 PM, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: > Ever since I installed the Nitto Mini Front Rack on my Atlantis, the > mounting rod that mounts through the fork crown hole interferes with the > link wire of my IRD cantis.
