Unless I am blind as a bat, I can't find these damn braze-ons. Can anyone help me? its an 07 model. I have P-clamps as well but theyre about 1cm too short to use on the seatstays.
Take it easy, nobody is calling you an idiot & there is no such thing as a dumb question. I can not see the braze-on in your pictures. I have the same bike & it has them but that doesn't mean yours doesn't. My bike is an 07 or 08, it is certainly possible it didn't get them in production for some reason. You can go to the hardware store and in electrical pick up a couple of 1/2 inch tubing hangers. You really want the rack supported from the bottom & not suspended from above. Most racks need some modification. You can also mount it to the brake mounts but you will have to make a trip to the hardware, you need a small L bracket and a spacer and maybe a longer screw for each side.
