Paneer rack? Isn't that a special storage device for Indian cheese?

Are the Blackburn ones OK with Disc brakes?
Doesn't seem to say on the On One site! Probably a stupid question but I'm looking for a pannier rack and I know nothing about them!

LapSteel - that's one of my questions too ! I have never used panniers, but trying to help out newbie neighbour whose only bike purchasing experiences have been Halfords and Lidl 😆

You gotta watch with disk-braked bikes. Depending on the caliper placement and dropout drilling there can be problems getting them to fit. Some you can bodge with spacers, some just won't work. Something like the disk version of the Blackburn EX-1 or the Topeak Super Tourist DX will almost definitely fit.

Best take the bike along when buying.
