Bike Seat clashes with peddles

    We have a rear bike seat like the one Recombodna is selling. Due to the front MTB derailer cable routed down the vertical tube I placed the clamp on the inside instead of between the vertical tube and the rear wheel. The seat is pushed back as far as it can go but our heels still clash with the foot wells on the child seat. Has anyone had this before? I started off fixing the clamp to the seat post its self but the seat would not locat in the clamp's holes as the seat was in the way.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Looks like either:

    - your clamp is far too low. Try moving it up nearer the top tube.

    - your frame is very small/short. You need a longer support designed for small frames which will set the seat further back.

    I think they now sell adapters for the hamax to go on small frames (one reason we didn't go for it originally, as we needed a seat that would fit both bikes, and copilot more adaptable).

    But, this presumes that your seat is actually a hamax rear carrier and not the front carrier that recombodna is selling!
