So the V rack sits closest to the rear tire, then the E rack which sits higher, and the A rack highest, or farthest away from the rear tire.....I get it
If you had gone with the E rack how much farther away from your rear tire would it have been ?
I know, I know, I just have to find a store near me that stocks the racks. We don't have any REI close by. We do have an Eastern Mountain Sport though....I'll have to check into it.
Thanks !

My frame is an 18", the seat tube measures 19-1/2" to the top of the clamp. With the V-style rack sitting right on top of the seat clamp the rack clears the tire by about 2-1/2". This is also with a pretty fat tire; a 2.1" Town & Country street slick.
