Is Starbike.com the only source for this rack? if there are other sources why not just return the rack to Starbike and get the rack elsewhere?

Which version of Pletcher racks are you wanting? There are a few models. As usual the lack of greater info prevents us from being as helpful as we might be. Andy

Try contacting Pletscher directly. Contact (pletscher.ch) They may help get this straightened out or offer you the missing parts for less $$.

thanks it's pretty frustrating. I got another email from them when I wrote a review on FB. I don't understand why they would say pletscher sells those parts separately because the box shows all the parts and the instructions does too.

"We can source the 66/133 mounting kit for Pletscher carriers ( EAN 7612616040177 ) within 3 business days. Normal price for that article would be 8.15€ + 31.51€ shipping. Sinnce we haven't mentioned in our description or pictures that these parts are included and stated clearly "Without mounting material" in the product description I cannot send you these parts for free.". 49 dollars total.

that's like buying a car without a steering wheel and charging extra for it.

sorry I didn't think the model was significant since I provided a picture of what I needed. but It's an Inova and starbike is the only one I could find that carries it.

UPDATE we were able to fit the struts in another plate we had in our spare parts. Now we're just waiting on the seat stay attachments from carson city and should be all set. Thanks all for your input

BUT It's been resolved I got the part here for 12 dollars from a different rack manufacturer but the exact same thing for 12 dollars.
so no need to continue this diatribe, it's been resolved.
