Hi all, does anyone know if I can fit a pannier to this MTB? From the pictures I can't see anywhere to attach to the back end of the frame. Thanks
Can't Halfords advise? You can always buy something else with the rack money and just pay 'cash' for the rack when you find one?Unfortunately due to the the shortage of bikes I can't view the bike in person before purchasing. This is also making it difficult for me to choose a rack, as I'm doing the cycle2work scheme, annoyingly, it has to be the correct price and I can't change it if its not correct, I would have to cancel the application and start again. I will be using the bike to travel to work but the main use will be to go off road with it, which is why I'm looking for a MTB.
I'd definitely get a beam rack in that case, much easier....assuming you won't be carrying heavy loads on your commute if you're using a back packHalfords online have said I can't fit a rack onto it but when I actually went into Halfords the guy I was talking to recommend this bike and I was specific in saying that I needed to have a rack on it occasionally. I think I will be going for the Cannondale Trail SE 4 Womens Mountain Bike 2021 - Hardtail MTB, however I've been told by Halfords I can't fit a rack onto this either but then Tredz online have said I can.
I will be taking the rack off when I take it out off road. I just needed the rack for if/when I commute to work each day. I usually cycle with a back pack and get too sweaty so want to avoid this.
There are plenty of racks that are designed to accommodate the now common disk brakeAn avoid frames with a rear disk brake in the traditional MTB location on chainstay. This interferes with rack leg mounting.
They have 1" spacers at the base with extra long bolts to clear the obstructive brake and push the rack and pannier bag 1" wider. That is a hack to to get around a problem which does not occur with chainstay mounted brakes.There are plenty of racks that are designed to accommodate the now common disk brake
