I've a new Tricross 09 and need a recommendation for a rack to carry pannier(s) for commuting ? Does anyone have any recommendations. I see Spesh sell a Tricross specific rack in the USA but I cannot find any reference to such being available in the UK, anyway looks an expensive option.
I'd prefer something lighter weight of course.
Many thanks,

    I doubt if it needs a specific rack (correct me if I am wrong). I reckon the best value lightweight rack is the Tortec Ultralight - they are very well made, and about the lightest for the money. Tortec have a new, even lighter rack the Velocity, minimalist (no top platform) and lighter still. Unless you go for a Tubus Titanium (£100 ish?) I don't think you will get any better quality lightweight racks.
