Both Tubus and Nitto offer long stays and adjustable rod clamps to make 
their racks very versatile.  
Tubus Vega rack on my daughter's upright.  


Not a particularly long wheelbase, but you can see how long and skewed 
weree the stays needed on this application.  
The Touring Store is a good place to shop for Tubus.

Thanks Jeremy :^)

No particular goal, probably not looking for a rack that is optimized for
big panniers though...

[RBW] Best smallish rear rack for long chainstay models?

[Jeremy Till]

What kind of bags are you thinking about using? Kind of determines which rack 
is best. I've had my Nitto Big Back rack on my Clem to carry panniers and it 
worked well. I'd say it's a touch flexier than the same rack on a shorter chain 
stay bike (like my Long Haul Trucker) because the upper stays are more extended 
to reach the upper mounts on the seat stays. Most of the long chain stay models 
have a second set of M6 eyelets mounted a few cm up from the dropouts which 
helps center the load within the wheelbase more.

[RBW] Best smallish rear rack for long chainstay models?

[Doug Van Cleve]

Howdy folks.

Despite the whole front basket thing, AFAIK GP has never really been pro
front loading.  It seems to me the long back end is perfect for a rear
rack, assuming the stays and what-not are long enough.  What rear racks
look good on these and fit well?

Thanks, Doug
