Hi all
I am considering buying a Topeak Explorer Bicycle Rack with Disc Brake Mounts and Spring
http://www.topeak.com/products/Racks/Ex ... dsc_spring
but I am unsure how or where the bottom actually attachs to the bike.
I have attached a few of pictures of my bike

Very odd. Yes I agree, you need mounting holes in the drop outs which seem to be missing.

I'd recommend having a look at the Oldmanmountain range:

They are the only racks that can reliably be attached to a disc mounted mtb. Instead of connecting to the base of the seatstay they attach to a skewer going through the axel, which always strikes me as a stronger option. It means there are no interference issues with the disk. They are very tough and reliable.0
