Patrick: If the Tubus rack would otherwise serve your needs, Tubus makes some height extending widgets that might make it work. They're pictured on Peter White's site (scroll down to the bottom). http://peterwhitecycles.com/tubus_racks.asp I haven't used them, but they look pretty simple.

If the dimensions listed on their translated Japanese site are correct it would be too short as it shows 340mm tall. I found this picture on the net for reference. It looks taller on this shot to me which looks like 700C wheels. http://maestro-kemeko.cocolog-nifty.com/photos/uncategorized/2012/02/13/mt800_02.jpg ~mike On Tuesday, May 22, 2012 5:12:53 PM UTC-7, Patrick Moore wrote: I've got a cheap aluminum rack designed with adjustable struts to clear 29er tires and disk brakes; "Sunlite" is embossed on the rack platform thus guaranteeing that it was made in Taiwan. I suppose this is adequate -- it is rated to 50 lb -- but I wonder if there exist nicer, chromo racks that will clear 29er tires and fenders; the strut would have to measure ~14.5"/37 cm from center of eyelet to underside of platform; perhaps half an inch of fudge factor. (FWIW, the adjustable struts have, I guesstimate, another 2" of extension available -- would clear a Pugsley, etc.) The Tubus Logo would have been fine except for Tubus's unfortunate under-platform strut clamps that crowd tire clearance. Exist there off the shelf racks with 50 lb capacity that have such clearance? I'd pair it with a Tubus Tara.
