Can anybody suggest a rack for a bolt through non eyeleted carbon road frame?
The above works but not on a nice frame or a carbon frame.
Seat post mounted rack?
Or
Not sure if this is a hack or a bodge but.....
Work out what thread your maxle is and get a new maxle machined up but longer than required, preferably in solid steel. One side with a thread and the other side with a lip to hold it in place.
With the extra material left on both sides (I. E it sticks out too far) you can attach the rack to this, again this needs to be machined depending on your rack. Possibly drill into the new maxle, tap it and bolt the rack to it if it will go that wide. You might be able to buy one? Then get a seat post adapter to attach the rack.
I've not tried this but I've been told it works. 😉 I hope I've explained it properly.
Personally, I just use bags strapped to the bike and if that's not enough a rucksack.
