Hi folks,

I recently bought a Blackburn EX-1 rear rack in slightly unused condition. I'm trying to fit it on a mid-2000s Jamis Aurora, and am finding I have to REALLY pull the legs/struts apart in order to get them over the eyelets. I did a search, and I think some posts on bikeforums.net said that the standard rack strut width is 160mm. The width of this rack (measured from inside-to-inside of the struts) is 110mm.

Is that normal for this rack? Do they come in different widths? I'm thinking this one was perhaps modified?

Any other ideas?

(Not sure this is the best place for this post, but I couldn't think of a more appropriate forum.)

Thanks!
