I've ordered an alloy Tortec Epic for my bike but I worry that it's going to look stupidly tall.
SJS answered a query from a customer saying that from centre fixing bolt to the underside of the top rail is 370mm. I have a suspicion that this is incorrect looking at online images of it as my current rack measures that and isn't anywhere near as tall. I think they've measured to the underside of the bottom rail instead.
Would any users of said rack take a tape measure to theirs please and let me know?
how tall this rack is?

SJS don't appear to be far off according to measurements of my stainless steel Epic rack.
Measured vertically to the underside of the top platform from the centre of the drop out mounting hole is 364mm. The lower rail is 59mm below the top rail.

Was looking at the exact same product just now - for a 26" bike. So you've saved me the bother of asking the same question!
