I'm putting together a bike to take mini-clubber out riding on in a childseat and also to commute to work on some days (via the nursery)
I've been given a Rhode Gear (or whatever they're called now) childseat which fits onto a blackburn rack.
So far, so good.
Problem is that I've found a great bike but it doesn't have any rack mounts on. I have fitted racks (for panniers) using P-clips in the past but are they going to be solid/secure enough to hold mini-clubber's seat in place - he's not a little lad - 25lbs at 9months so I reckon that he'll quickly be over 30lbs (40lbs max for the seat).
I'm not going to be doing 'proper' off-road but I do want to be able to take him on some of the less technical trails around here when I want.
Anyone got experience of trying this?
Thanks
