Got a 2006 GT Avalanche 2.0 disc.
Due to the roady getting loads more use commuting, I'd been thinking of a bit of adaptation to allow the GT to be used as an alternative commuter. Altering the route to take in a bit of singletrack/towpath etc.
If I do this I fancy keeping the weight off my back, so maybe a pannier. Strange thing is the frame has the bolts at the top of the seat stays for a pannier, but there's nothing down at the hub. RHS has no bolt points. The LHS has 2, but they're for the caliper!
Am I right in thinking the bolts at the top of the seatstays are for pannier mounting?
If so, whats the remedy for the lower mounting positions? (I dont think 'p' clips would do it, could be wrong)
