Looking for a rear rack for a Giant Momentum Vida E+ easy step over bike. I want to use the provided mounting points. Everything I have seen does not have long enough stabilizer arms that attach under the seat. TYIA
 
You can get seat post collar with the integrated eyelets for the rack struts. Just get one that’s the correct size of your seat post diameter.
 
@bearded scholar Congrats on your bike, we love the Momentum bikes.

We bought a Vida E+ just a few months ago for my wife. I already have several Topeak bags and baskets that I use on my Transend E+, so I knew I wanted to put a Topeak rear rack on her bike. Even though both Momentum bikes have disk brakes, you do not need to buy the disk brake version of the Topeak racks. I moved my 10-year-old Topeak Explorer rack from my old bike to the Transend E+ with no modifications. Topeak offers extra long stabilizer arms, but I was able to mount both our Topeak racks using the standard arms.

Here's the rack I put on her bike. https://www.amazon.com/Topeak-Super...e+Rack&qid=1623934320&s=sporting-goods&sr=1-6

You can see the rack on her bike in this video I made on her bike and the accessories I added for her. (Please subscribe to my channel, I'm trying to get to 1,000 subscribers) Vida E+

I adjusted the rack down to it's lowest level to fit a 24" wheel, but my wife has her seat so low it interfered with the Topeak shopping basket. She also couldn't swing her leg over the basket. There was a couple of inches clearance between the 27" wheel and the rack at it's lowest setting, so I cut a little off the top of each of the mounting legs so I could drop the rack another inch closer to the rear wheel. Now everything clears the seat and she can swing her leg over the largest Topeak rack accessory. I really like the look of the lower rack too, it looks much more integrated into the bike's lines. I'm already thinking about how I can drop my non-adjustable Topeak rack down an inch or so as well. :)
