Pannier Racks

[Cdf 20]

Looking to fit a rear rack to Genesis cdf with disc brake. Any ideas?

If the caliper is mounted on the chainstay, a standard rack will fit. Good racks have triangular stiffening, strong stays and a rear light bracket if needed. Racktop solid plates are not needed if you use mudguards.

Topeak super tourist disc option?

I have the Genesis Tour de Fer, check the rack out on that. Tubus cargo rack. Do you have the same fittings?

I've just bought a alpkit mool with a little persuasion opening out the arms and bending over a bit of 3x2 I have made it fit around my calipers with the help of a 5mm spacer.

Tubus and Tortec are good racks.

Topeak are the business but you might find yourself tied into buying their proprietary bags.

I recently put a Halfords disc rack on my Genesis (not CdF) and if works fine.

I like the topeak ones and have them on my disc braked & non disc brakes bikes.
It means I can set up the orlieb panniers once for all bikes, and their own brand rack packs simply slide on whatever bike I'm using.

Looking at this year's model, it looks like the brake is mounted between the seat stay and the chain stay so it should be possible to fit a normal rack.
