BTW, it's not that I know that mush about Miyatas, it's that I
know where the catalogues are. I don't have a Terra Runner, but I do have a Ridge Runner.
Thanks John. I'll probably just bend the rear rack arms a little to eliminate the rubbing. If you're using a 330mm on the rear I'd suspect your yoke could be sitting quite a bit lower than mine with a 380mm straddle cable. The front is 320mm.
Thanks for the Miyata catalogue link. On inspection, most of the 1984 specs for the Terra Runner do not match my bike EXCEPT for the DC 980s. The 1986 catalogue specs, however, match perfectly, and yes, DC980s are listed there as well. So, my reported memory in the original post was wrong. I'm pretty confident, now, mine is a 1986.
