Tom, never mind I see the "p" clamps on the Atlantis. So if I understand the hardware that came with the rack were the short stays meant to attach at the canti bosses with double threaded studs (not included with rack) and longer stays? The long one's are meant for mid fork braze on's which on the Atlantis didn't work as the Paul canti's were in the way. Is there a reason you didn't use the double stud or are the Paul's a different beast and require a Paul specific bolt? And I've heard that the longer stays need to be purchased separately.
The Stumpjumper I see you mounted to the canti bosses and it appears your not using Paul's on that bike so it must be a Paul thing. Interestingly I am planning on using Paul Tour Canti's on my Atlantis. Another question. What if you know is the largest tire and fender combo that can be run safely on the Atlantis? You mentioned to Minh that you had fenders but the clearance was tight. What was the combo? Thanks for dealing with all these questions but you've tread where I'm going :-) ~Hugh "Life is like riding a bicycle.
