Hi, I was really hoping to run my tall axle-mount sissybar on this 5 speed Fastback. Do I need a longer axle to accommodate the rear derailleur and all? Will I run into any interference? Thanks for any help on the matter! Sam

You can always slide the axle over if room permits, but most of the time it's not a problem unless the axle was changed before with a shorter version

Thank you, great suggestion - I did not think of that!

Food for thought! Just looked and yes, the axle doesn’t have much room on either side. Hub is a French built Sprint so maybe that factors in. The axle on my stingray (Bendix) does look longer and more stout.

I used to own a rams horn fastback years ago with a hangman sissybar, don't think I had any problems with it mounted on the axle but then schwinn was always inter changing parts for on reason or another

Oh wow! Would you happen to have a picture? I am debating going this route (Ramshorn) since the previous owner was so nice as to Windex the chainguard screen, haha!
