Hey y'all,
I have a rack that I have and like to use, but cannot put on either of my bikes right now. Not on the mountain bike because I lost the square piece that mounts under the rack and connects the arm piece (see link). Not on the single speed, because my other arm piece (see in the link the piece that says optional) broke where the bolt mounts into the frame. This is probably my fault because I likely forgot the washer and then tightened the bolt too tight.
Losing the square piece is still a mystery to me. I dropped it, heard it hit something right next to me, and it's just gone. It's been a while and occasionally I'll move things around in the garage to look for it, but it never turns up. I guess there's a portal and someone else is using it...
I'm presuming I won't be able to get a replacement for the parts because Blackburn no longer makes this model of rack. Therefore I need some creative help in coming up with a solution. What else could I do to replace that square piece?
