seat post clamp mounting hardware
Aloha All
I’m seeking the wisdom of the forum. I’d like to mount a rear rack and carry pannier on my gravel bike (Niner RLT RDO). In the coming semester I might be attending in person classes and even working in a local school. I hope to ride my bike rather than drive my car. Partly to get some daily riding in, but also save some gas and avoid the cost of parking on campus.
The mount points on the seat stay of the RLT RDO are not traditional. They are turned 180 degrees and face to each other. I currently have a fender hanging on there. It’s a little crowed for the rear rack mounting hardware. So, I decided to try a Problem Seatpost Clamp with Rack Mounts, which at first seemed a good solution. The Problem Solver clamp is a bit shorter than the OEM seat clamp. I am wondering if this will cause any troubles for me. (the frame is carbon fiber.)

Note the seat post isn't at the same height as I was just switching between setups to take the pictures.
