Small Frame Rack?
Good day,

My wife has a 15" Trek FX 7.5. Can anyone suggest a rack that will fit a small frame with 700C wheels. I bought a basic two strut seat stay rack but the extensions do not reach to the upper braze-ons.

Thanks,
TNO

They are pricey but the extensions on Tubus racks can be interchanged for different sizes.

Your current rack will work; however, you are going to need longer stays. Jandd mountaineering offers them: https://www.jandd.com/detail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=FEXT

How do I know? I ride a 47 cm '07 Specialized Sirrus and its geometry is really crazy to the point where I needed the 16 inch stays.
