I am planning to do my first bit of touring this summer. I don't have a specific touring bike so intend using my aluminium road bike which doesn't have any specific mounts for a rack. Does anybody have a set of panniers and maybe a rack that can be fitted to a road bike, I understand I may require some special clips to do the job.
In the absence of anybody selling any could anybody be kind enough to supply a link to panniers and rack which are reasonable quality and don't cost the earth.

Many thanks in advance.

Comfy armchair to one person & a plank to the next
What's the bike? Some may know what will/won't fit.

You can also get seat post clamps with built in rack mounts which are a good option for securing at the top.

Google "seat clamp rack mount"

Thanks User, my bike has neither , can you use p clips on the seat stays at the top and bottom?

Ive got my head around the top fitting either with a p clip or seat post mount, it's the bottom fixing I'm struggling to understand.

Those I didn't know about - wish I had, all those years I "found" ways of attaching racks to the kids' bikes. Thank you! :smile:
