M318 at Bellerose

M222 with new Cantilever Rack, unit sits lower and straddles the rear wheel better, making better use of the space created by the wheel well. Also lowered the center of Gravity

Rode 18 miles on the M318 this morning , stopped at Bellerose LIRR.
Afternoon ride was 5 miles on the M222 , with a new lowered Tailbox. It seems I had the wrong size rack, intended for a smaller bike. Rack was designed assuming it needed more clearance to clear the rear wheel. I actually have a larger size bike, and it needed a rack that «drops» two inches. It’s better now.
