Advice most welcome... I have a steel frame that has all 4 bosses, i.e. attachment points, but because I chose cantilever brakes the rack I have cannot be attached because one of the bosses on the upper rear stays is obstructed by the brake housing. I was wondering if anyone has come across a rear pannier rack that clamps onto the seatpost and makes use of the 2 bosses down next to the rear wheel drop outs... advice most welcome and if this has already been dealt with in a previous post I would be grateful for a link... mean while...

    You can sometimes attach the upper rack struts to the inside of the seatstays where they dont interfere with the brakes. You can bend some of the stronger struts to curve around the problem. If you have eyelets then you should do everything you can to make use of them because the alternatives are not as strong.

    Maybe one of these seatpost clamps would do the trick?
