Pletscher? What, and prevent me from re-inventing the wheel? Also, it's expensive at over four times the cost, plus SH. But seriously, the real reason is that why I didn't just keep the Tubus Logo rack formerly on the Fargo: I've not found any rack that will clear fenders over 60+ mm tires -- and I don't want to limit my tire size. Also, I can remove this support when I remove the fenders in dry weather and simply use a bungee or cord to keep the center off the wheel -- the bag will have another 3 cm or so of clearance with the fender gone.
Disclosure: I got the support itself right the first time, but the centering strut along the fender had to be done twice.
