While waiting for my Salsa Mukluk 2<\/a> to ship I’ve been slowly picking up the various accessories I’ll need for it. This is one of them, the spacer kit to make my bike rack<\/a>, a 1up USA Quik-Rack<\/a> support fat tire bikes. Since I don’t yet have a need to carry the bike I haven’t installed it yet, but hopefully that’ll happen soon. I’ve got a few concerns about how well the rack will work for non-fat bikes after fitting the kit, since it might not hold the wheel as securely, but if I have to slightly augment the now-wider rack to accommodate smaller tires that won’t be a huge problem.<\/p>\n

This kit cost US$29 shipped and while I likely could have fashioned something similar for a bit cheaper, it would have taken a fair bit of work. Purchasing this kit saved me a bit of time and allowed me to get something ready to go which is known to fit. Now I just need to get the bike…<\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/strong> The kit has been installed, and it works quite well. This photo<\/a> shows the expanded rack easily holding a Salsa Mukluk 2 (Surly Rolling Darryl \/ Larry front wheel). The only disappointing part is that the Fat Tire Spacer Kit did not come with a wider anti-rattle band for one of the spacers. Instead the previous band must be reused, and it doesn’t fill the space nicely (photo<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
