Yes, its a rack designed for road bikes with no rack eyelets so can use the quick release skewer for the lower part, and the top of the rack mounts to road brakes via the bolt.

Perhaps I was being overly careful about bending the rack struts further outward, just didn't want to break it. Perhaps you could ask at a bike store about making it wider as I'm sure they have experience.
