Re: Mounting rack / Panniers on a dualie.
Ken,
There are various lightweight seatpost mount racks on the market. Topeak and Blackburn have the most styles and there a number of similar ones from smaller manufacturers. You probably want something like these. http://www.topeak.com/2004/products/rack_008.html http://www.topeak.com/2004/products/rack_001.html My old Blackburn seatpost rack had a limit of only around 9kg None of these types of rack would promise to carry a fully loaded pannier let alone two. A good expanding-lid rackbag would be a better idea. http://www.nashbar.com/profile_more...y=1005&sku=5091 Some good advice here http://www.bikesrnottoys.com/buyingBags.htm Al.

Re: Mounting rack / Panniers on a dualie.
We sell an alloy seatpost rack with add-on sides for 49$ to suit the Topeak
type panniers , but if you want a full-on touring rack with stays you will have to dig a bit deeper in the pocket: http://www.oldmanmountain.com/ Steve Ideal Cycles ,WA.

I bought my Tubus Cargo through www.wallbike.com and have been really pleased with their service. On a duallie, for the back end you'll find it difficult to get any rack that can carry luggage like camping gear. If you need to haul gear it may be better to get a Beast Of Burden (BOB) www.bobtrailers.com taht will carry a good load on a well-balanced single wheel trailer. Cheers Peter |
