I've got nothing for a rear rack to fix to on my bike. I have the holes for the bottom of the rack. However none at the top.
do I use an M clip at the seat post that has extra holes or a different solution?
Need to get a rack mounted asap as touring from London to Malaga.
Should my bike be able to take the strain of near on 2000 miles if it's not ment to support panniers and load at the back?
Any help would be much appretiated!
thanks

Your bike should be fine, my Allez and my friends Trek 1.2 had no major problems on our 1400 mile Tour de Rome.
I used the M:Part seat post clamp for the top of my rack but have the bottom mounts. It was perfect and so easy to fit as my brakes got in the way of other solutions.

I was recomended the Tubus Adapter Set For QR-Axle Mounting by members here:

The rack and bags used are in my other thread you posted on. My mate used a cheaper/simpler rack with larger Altura 56 litre bags and had issues with them sagging into his spokes!0
