Am I picking this up correctly, are you saying to drill right through the seat stay lug with a 5mm drill, the bike is a Giant defy 2 alu frame, wouldn't this weaken the seat stay somewhat?

No, if you already have a 5mm hole which is threaded, or the threads are buggered, then use a 5mm drill bit to take out just the threads on the inside of the hole and then use a conventional M5 bolt to secure the stay of the rack. I'm not suggesting drilling any new or larger holes. Alternatively leave the hole and get yourself some P-clips which create a mounting on the seat stay. These can be purchased from Wiggle fairly cheaply.

If you post a pic this might be a help.
