I recently got a cheapish rack from rockbros to mount onto my road bike— which has no eyelets! But this little metal piece is bothering my leg when I pedal— it pokes my inner thigh.
Does anyone have suggestions on what I could do? Or is the solution to just get a nicer rack…?
Less of a problem on my lock holder, though the top of it keeps snagging me (I tried to sand it down)…
Appreciate the help!

I have this same rack, my solution was to unscrew the lever thing and install something I could bolt down. Just unscrew, take it to a hardware store and size the threading if you don’t have it on hand.
Amazing amazing. Thank you!! Did the rack work out well otherwise?
is the lever facing the wrong way? I would expect the curve to face toward the rear
Its not great to put the u lock bracket on that area (the top tube). It seems like it is interfering with your rear brake cable. Can you install the bracket up and down on the tube that connects the pedals to the seat (the seat tube)?
If the excess threads are still too long, you should be able to take them out and bring them to a hardware store and find the same threading but shorter.
