What Rack for Tricross?

Wallace1492

Hi,

I have bought a Specialized Tricross recently and find it a great bike. I use it mainly for commute to work, but I got it also to try a little touring (camping).

Can anyone advise the best rack to go with it? And perhaps panniers. I dont want to spend a lot, but on the other hand do want something that is half decent.

My idea is for a spring challenge of riding Glasgow to Durness in 6 days. I did the West Highland Way last year walking, and love a good challenge!! To prepare I want to do a few days in Mull before the end of September.

Thanks

I've got Blackburn racks on both my tourers, no problems ever.

Try Parker international online, might be best to give them a phone and see what they have in stock, I got my madison summit from them 40 quid rack for 20 quid and it is solid. It also arrived in two days

The Madison Summit looked pretty good value at £40 never mind £20! I thought about getting one myself, but unfortunately they don't seem to be on the site any more.

Otherswise my recommendation would be for a Tubus rack. Not the cheapest, but bear in mind you can take them from bike to bike.
