Current bikepacking bag set up is a Swift Industries Zeitgeist on rear and Roadrunner Jumbo Jammer bag on front, as i really like top loading bags over the more conventional bikepacking front roll and swinging rear bags..

Front bag is supported by the brilliant Jack the Rack, but rear has been supported by Carradice Bagman, but find that the Bagman without struts is too flexible, and with the struts, wants to wear holes in bags and still bounced a bit.

I'm after a very minimal rear rack, to use alone, or to support the bag and keep off wheel like the Tumbleweed Mini, but without the £170 price tag?

Tortec velocity or ultralight. Aluminium so lighter than lots of steel ones and cheapish.

Ortileb quickrack is also fairly lightweight.

We have two of those Tortecs and they are a joy to fit and use.
