Looking for a pannier rack

sharp910sh

I need a pannier rack to haul two big bags of shopping from tesco twice a week, a rucksack won't cut it. Anyone know A good pannier rack for <£25 and how can i attach tesco shopping bags to it, (the blue recylable ones) do i need clips?

I have the specilized 16 58cm, So i need something quite light.

Tortec Ultralite.

You'll need pannier bags as well - or baskets but I can't imagine they'll give you the look you're after.

Altura and Basil do good ones. Ortlieb too, but they're pricey.

Assume you got an Allez?


My set-up, tour and supermarket shops!



If its an Allez fitting a rack is tricky as the brakes get in the way, as fitted below:
Topeak Super Tourist DX Rear Rack, has a lower mounting point for a lower center of gravity and heel clearance. If I wasn't touring I'd get something simpler/much lighter.

M:Part Single Bolt Seat Post Clamp With Rack Mount, this solves the fitting issue.

Ortlieb Back Roller Plus Panniers, expensive but faultless. Not sure of a method for fitting shopping bags direct to the rack.

Cheers, the madison summit is fine, a bit heavy but fine.

Aye it's fine and the one I'd recommend to you. I didn't think it heavy which is not necessarily a prob as some weight may suggest greater durability. Just be grateful you didn't buy Blackburn because they really are nasty.
