[QUOTE 1875279, member: 45"]Anyone recommend one?

My wife has a small Carrera Subway, and a standard rack won't sit flat and doesn't fit well.[/quote]
Don't some have adjustable arms to the a frame?

Hi User. I had the same problem with my Crossfire 2, the mounting arms/trips weren't long enough for either of my Topeak racks.

I bought some 12mm wide 3mm thick alluminium strip from B&Q and made my own. Its pretty easy to do if you're ok with a drill and it bends easily by hand. They work perfectly well.

Just another tip User, if you do make a pair of mounting arms for your rack make sure you use two fixing bolts at the rack end for each arm (racks usually have two pairs of fixing holes) as it will reduce any potential twisting/side to side movement of the rack, if you see what I mean.
