Subject: RE: Unexpected problem for a tall guy. It could be the rack for that event is shorter than others, I'm 6'3" and havent had a problem like that, but I have a pouch (spare tube, patch kit, tools etc ) under my seat and I know that helps... Do you have areo bottles or a seat pouch? That could help give you the extra 2" under your seat. You could also wrap a towel or something like that around the bar (secure it w/ a bungee ball cord ). another suggestion would be to build a small wheel stand for your wheel - nothing too big, using 2 1"x3"s so the total width is less than 7" and about 10" or so in length. You dont need much, just enough to keep the bike from tipping over. Still rest your post or stem on the rack for added stability. Just a thought. Shouldn't add too much clutter to transition since it will be in the back area by the rack, where your bags probably are. Edited by ratherbesnowboarding 2009-06-02 8:36 AM
