Bruce: Rear racks are much easier to mount than fronts. There's just a lot more open area back there. IME (various cantis plus V-brakes) the only potential conflicts have been with brake cables and there is always some combination of connecting the horizontal struts to the seat stays that avoids interference. The struts can mount to either the inside or outside of the hourglass and the aluminum struts can be bent if needed.
