I’m considering a defy for work. I want to continue using my My topeak pannier rack and mtx bag. A sales guy at Rutland on the phone today told there is a bracket you can buy that attaches to seat post and rack. (no eyelets on seatstays )

Can’t find it!!

Does he mean the seatclamp with rack eyes?

Assuming it has a d-Fuse seatpost, here you go;

Thanks captain

Superb

The description is confusing thou!

“Please note: this seat collar is designed to fit the bicycle frame, not the seatpost itself. If you are unsure, please speak to your local Giant retailer before purchasing to ensure compatibility.”

They normally replace the current seatpost clamp on your bike.

i picked up one of teh ones that connects to your seat rails for bike packing but haven’t used it in earnest yet….might be an option depending how much you want to transport

A mate has one of these on a defy 0 and works really well.

It’s a completely new seat clamp so replaces the existing seat clamp, hardly notice it and the 2 eyelets act as the eyelets would on the seat stays
