I think she got the wrong tool for the proposed new purpose .
hang the summer bike on a peg and get a proper tool,
for the new plan..
It'as not a summer bike, its an MTB touring conversion for offroad.
I never use mudguards. Fenders are for woosies! In the long term I plan on making my own bike packing gear, but for this tour I don't have time to make more than one or two pannier sets. (I have got into outdoor gear sewing recently, made a few bags and clothes lol).
I dont see the big deal, there are a few good racks, like the Jandd Extreme or the Old Man Mountain that would dothe job just fine. I just dont know if I want to pay that for the acks and kit when i could just get a trailer for that price.
