Pannier racks

[liambauckham]

do these fit on Y frame mtb's?

Probably not.

You can buy racks that clamp onto the seat-post though.

i've seen these, they dont look that sturdy to me

I have one on my road bike that can't take a traditional rear rack. It is study enough to be well packed with enough stuff for a whole day out on the bike. (food, waterproof, tools, spares, food and the like). I've never had problems with it.

I've never used them but I've heard Oldmanmoutain racks being mentioned before apparently they can fit all types of frames.

do these seat post racks hold normal pannier bags or do they have their own special type?

Their own fit best. I certainly wouldn't want to rely on this for say a pukka cycle tour holiday, but for everyday day-tour they hold sufficient.

so they wouldnt be good enough for my tour of 'Nam
