Fietsbob was being helpfull. Its a good suggestion. I seldom use my sports car for hauling hay.

Yes lots of folks have ridden long distances on fixed gear, I have done it. I also chose a frame with lots of eyelets to do it on.

Now to be "helpfull".
If your load is fairly light, then four p clips, top and bottom will work, Ive seen it done. I would carry a spare clip and hardware. If the rack you have is made to fit the center of a brake bridge, then look for another rack. A new rack is a better idea than an old one anyway(unless you really know that it is a strong unabused rack), as rack failure sucks.
