Another question about panniers

girv73

Persistent back trouble is forcing me to consider fitting a pannier rack to workbike. Last weekend I bought one, but it seems my frame doesn't have all the braze-ons it needs to bolt this rack to. All the racks I've seen online need the same two bolt holes at the top of the seat stays, which I don't have. So I wonder what sort of rack I need?

Here's some pics showing the fittings wot I have:









I need to carry a hefty laptop at times, so I guess one of the racks that clamp to the seatpost won't be sturdy enough.

Any suggestions?

@JonS123 P-Clips look like they might work for me, cheers

@cyberknight I'd seen those seatpost ones, but they don't have the carrying capacity I need. I don't fancy strapping a laptop bag to one.

@JonS123 P-Clips look like they might work, and for the price it's worth a shot. Thanks.

P-clips will work to a point, still not advisable for heavy loads so becareful!

cyberknight

must be a heavy laptop they have a 10 kg load limit

and hope the clips work i didnt even know about them good find jonS

edit you can get a pannier rack that uses the quick release spindle maybe that and the clips at the top?

What about one of these? It fits to your seatpost.

Several companies make clips that fit around seat stay to provide fixing points, like these

My work bike has wishbone stays and I fitted a jubilee type clip with a bit of old innertube behind it. The stays from the rack attach either side of the clip and had worked well for the past 15 years
