I've tried a few racks in a local bike shop and they interfered with the rear mudguard struts to the extent that I'd have to choose between the mudguards and rear rack, so my choice of rack needs to take that into account. The RackTime AddIt looks like an awesome rack so I'll do some further checking before I order it.
Do you recommend any German retailers of RackTime?
