Sorry to bring this back up, but an update to Saddlesores' question re: lack of racks on the Haro V4...

Other than, I assume, the lack of people using this XC bike for commuting/touring duty, a normal rack fits... poorly. I pulled a Topeak Explorer rack off an old Trek 830 I picked up this past weekend, and the drop-out mounted rear disc brakes got in the way of the bottom leg. I'm guessing that a disc compatible rack would work, and will check with OMM to see if this is the case, but a OTS LBS rack, or the Topeak anyway, doesn't work with this set-up on this bike.

A BOB trailer may be in my future.
