Dreaming of riding up to John o Groats next year, and musing over how to carry our kit.

Has anyone got a pannier rack fitted to a Kinesis 4S Disc? Since the lower eyelets are elevated and on the outside of the seat stays, I just wondered which racks are a nice fit?

Kinesis themselves didn’t seem to know…

Not sure about the 4 season but this fitted nicely to my ATR

I have this one, but I have flat mount brake calipers. If you have post mount calipers, you may need the disc specific version…

@trailwagger Never heard of them before, thanks for the link. I like the look of the lightweight rack they do

@belugabob Great stuff – I like the fact that on the Topeak one, the height can be adjusted. Are you using it with a Topeak MTX bag? Is it a good system?

@benman – yes, MTX trunk bag is very nice, as the pannier parts can be folded away if you don’t need them.
I also have a custom frame bag, and am thinking of using a seat mounted pack, and handlebar bag on my next trip, but I tend to use hotels, rather than camping, so travel fairly light

We would probably stay in B&B’s, and I was hoping to get all of my kit into a single pannier or a rack top bag.
