I JUST installed one on a Sojurn last week at the shop. You're going to have to relieve the top clamp for the derailleur cable at the front side (5 minutes with a 3-sided file), and completely cut away the drive-side rear corner to get it to clear the extra spoke holder. I also had to take 3 threads off the bolt, as even with a lockwasher and a flat washer the bolt was bottoming out. In retrospect I should have just added another washer or two, I think. I left the legs stock length per the owner's request, and this put the tire about an inch and a half off the floor.
