I've tried three varieties-- a blackburn new, a blackburn old, a Vetta, and a no name brand. None line up properly. I know I could mount it with the U clamps, but I'd rather use the mid fork mount for stability and permanence.
Perhaps you could post a photograph in order to illustrate the issue you are having?
While P clamps work fine, if the frame has mid fork mounting brazeons, IMO it's really hack engineering to use clamps.
