Need to move something heavy and don't have a wheelbarrow. Figured I could just fit an old rack to the back of my hardtail and use it as a makeshift wheelbarrow. Spent half an hour fishing out bolts and washers, then tried to fit the rack only to find that it won't fit because the only bike I have with rack mounting holes is a 29er and there isn't any clearance. Oh, I am so ****ed. Think I'm gonna just start on the drinking early and pretend I don't know anything about moving anything.

Hang on - put down that beer. Can’t you just stick a 26” wheel on the 29er that has the rack mounts?

Damn, seems a bit obvious in hindsight. Putting a 32 mm road tyre on did the trick, once I searched through a box of old tubes to find one that wasn't knackered.
