Does anyone know of a good rear rack that can be fitted to a bike with no rack mounts?

any rack as long as you use p-clips around the stays etc.

be aware with road bikes that the tubing may be too thin to support the weight of the rack and panniers and consider one of those ones that hangs off your seatpost.

[url=http://]Old Man Mountain[/url] do a rack (I'm pretty sure Tubus do one too) that mounts to the Q/R.

There's also an Aussi/NZ one which sort of straps to your seat-stays. I'll see if I can find a link....

If you use P clips ,still put a bit of lecky tape on the frame ,as grit can still scratch( had this happen on some frames)the seat stays.

Gotta luv that guy on OMM welding in his shorts 🙂

I got this one that someone recommended on here.

It is adjustable so it works around disc brakes as well. I use P-clips and it is rock solid. Only £13 and arrived next day. Brilliant quality to the tubes.

I tried a post mount one and it used to move around under load. Attaching properly to the frame is a huge advantage.

depending on pannier size you can consider seatpost mount too
