Re: [RBW] Are P clamps supposed to do this?

2014-11-09 Thread David Hays
I just mounted Nitto M18s on two bikes that lack fork eyelets and used the 
rubber/stainless steel clamps that come with the rack.
I had some concerns but when I used the smaller clamps and looked at the 
geometry I realized the force placed on the clamps by the weight of the rack 
push the clamp into and not down the fork blade.
Nothing conclusive but my take so far.

 Front rack feels rock solid when pulling on the rack.
 
 But if I grab the rubber p clamps themselves, I can sorta slide them a bit a 
 few mm's. Is this just how P clamps are supposed to be?
 
 Bolts are totally snugged up and forks under p clamps are lined with bartape.
