Hi,

I bought a Blue Pig a couple of years ago and fitted a WeeRide to transport the little 'un to nursery. This worked really well, but as bairns do, he's grown a bit. A lot.

So, we bought a Hamax Siesta which is great on his Mam's bike, but I'm struggling to find a rack that will mount on the Blue Pig which will allow me to put the bike seat on. There's a mounting point near the dropouts, but nothing on the seat stays. Can I use a set of [url= http://www.evanscycles.com/products/tortec/p-clips-ec006759 ]these P Clips[/url] for the upper mounts, or would they not be up to the job? Obviously my first concern is my son's safety, so if it can't be done, it can't be done.

Google "seat clamp rack mount" there are lots out there for not much which will give you a fixing point.

This one looks good:

My hamax siesta slots into a bracket mounted on the seat tube. This works nicely on my inbred summer season. No worries about the frame as its made from scaffold pipes ๐Ÿ™‚

i cant remember but i think i may have had to choose a different mounting frame to enable it to clear the wheel though.

EDIT: - ah, looks like you have the plus model that goes on the special rack. If the P-clip solutions are strong enough to hold heavy luggage then they [i]should[/i]be ok i guess.

Thanks for the responses fellas. That seat clamp may well do the job.

Any other suggestions from anyone please?
