I have a Seven Mudhoney Ti Cyclocross frame with disc brakes, which I think is a great bike. I have used it as a CX race bike,  commuter, road and touring bike. The only problem with this frame is trying to fit a rack on it.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

The  rack eyelets are above the disc caliper. Which puts a rack really high above the wheel and way too far forward. Now I only go bike camping once a year, so buying a new bike to address this not really a good solution.  <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

So I went looking for a solution to fit a rack on my bike. Tubus makes an adapter kit for mounting a rack on the rear skewer which looked like it would work.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

The kit includes a longer rear skewer, an assortment of spacers and a set of nuts and bolts.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

 On the drive side it worked fine. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

On the non drive side, aka the disc caliper side I used the Jandd Disc Brake adapter kit to move the rack arm out further from the dropout.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

You can see why I need it clearly in this picture.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Now the Seven Mudhoney has a brake bridge with a single spot for attaching a fender or rack, but I wanted to use two rack struts to hold my tent and camping gear. So I used the Tubus Clampset. which really to be frank is a high end version of a p-clamp. But it is much more secure and it works perfectly. They come in a variety of sizes. So measure your seat stay before you order them.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

I bought them online from Wayne @ the touring store, and he warned me that this setup would probably not work. But I lucked out and it worked fine. I have used these with a Jandd Expedition Rack<\/a> and Jannd Mountain Panniers<\/a> for commuting and bike touring.<\/p>\n
