Bobs!

Just wondering ... is it the latest model? In 2011 it was changed slightly with larger 12mm main down tubes (old model was 10mm tubes). There is an article here explaining ...

It's the latest model bought last year and used for 1 trip. Not being used as I've got every down to 2 panniers.

Thanks!

Sorry to be picky but do you know what size of fittings came with the rack? Aparently there are 18mm, 25mm, 35mm and 40mm clamps available to fit different forks.

Or does it come only with the V-blake boss fittings?

Also is it for a 26 inch wheel bike as there are several sizes available for different wheel sizes?

Hi,
I'm think it has the 35mm clamps. The clamps fit a standard Thorn Mt taura/Nomad fork. It also has Vee brake fittings. 26" wheel but it think it would fit any size.
