All this talk of bicycles yesterday made me stop for a selfie on my commute this morning. I don't ride a motorcycle, so here's my 2-wheeled steed.

This is the pier a half-mile from my work, so 9.5 miles into my morning ride. It's warm enough here to bike in shorts and a jersey in January!

  • Kona Honky Inc, steel-frame with carbon fork.
  • Avid BB7 mechanical disc brakes.
  • Ultegra/105 mash-up drivetrain with 105 shifters and Ultegra derailleurs.
  • No rack braze-ons and disc brakes mean I had to hunt a bit for an appropriate rack. I chose not to go with the P-clip method and instead got this Axiom rack. Panniers are axiom as well.
  • It's a short commute, so I often just do it in exercise shorts. Thinking of getting shorter running shorts, or moving to bicycling shorts, but this works fine for now. When it gets a bit colder I'll bike in jeans, but it's been a warm January.

Good catch. This one, then. And yes, on the seatpost clamp. Lots of them for like $5 from Amazon.

+1 on the DLX (make sure you get the Disc one!). Why your LBS didn't mount it to your braze ons is beyond me, but makes any maintenance/tire changes much much easier.

How about Axiom Streamliner disc. Inexpensive and works quite well.

I have a road version. I think that Diverge's rear spacing is 135mm so the road version requires to widen at the rear dropout. So, yes, you could use any rack but disc specific prob. is easier to install.

I was able to mount this rack to my cyclocross bike which also doesn’t have any mounting eyelets on it. It worked perfect for me by putting the quick release skewer through the lower mounting points.

And then for the upper mounting points, there are two different options it comes with. Two adjustable arms for bikes that have the normal threaded eyelets on the frame behind the seat. Or a metal arm that bolts to the mounting point for normal brakes.

If you want to use the two adjustable arm option, you can buy a seat clamp that has threaded mounting points in it. Here’s that.

Here are some photos of my bike with both the rack and the threaded seat clamp.

Axiom DLX Disc Rack fits most bikes. Not extra-wide.

I’ve had no issues with my Axiom Streamliner disc over a couple hundred km now. Also the thinnest rack I could find at the time.

u/nasdreg · 2 pointsr/bicycling

The other replies are right about the lack of mounting holes on the top of the seatstays, and their solutions. Another alternative is that some racks mount onto the centre brake caliper bolt like this one.

u/spleeble · 2 pointsr/bikecommuting

Get an Axiom Streamliner Disc. Thats the answer.

Take a look at this one. One of the things to look out for on road bikes without eyelets is that heel clearance is also shorter. This track mounts to the quick release and brake mount, plus moves the track back to provide more heel clearance when you’re panniers are on. They have a road version that just has a narrower platform on top but the dish version tends to get better reviews and has a normal sized platform for a crate, etc.

Justhavingacoffe, I'd be super interested how you have made the Topeak work.


DuranDourand, thanks for the pic, that's exactly the problem I ran into.

Just to double check, this is the rack you've used, correct?

Thank you?

u/chamoisjuice · 1 pointr/bicycling

Werd, pretty much any rack will work if the brake is inside rear triangle.
If brake is mounted on back of the dropout, you need a disc specific rack.
There are two main types: the kind that is just spaced much wider, like this:

And the kind that is set back further, like this:
http://www.amazon.com/Axiom-Streamliner-Disc-Cycle-Black/dp/B004094HY2
The set back kind gives you more heel clearance for panniers. But also mounts weight further back... tradeoffs.

u/PaulRivers10 · 1 pointr/bikecommuting

I HATE seatpost racks. The problem is with only 1 attachment point, they tend to swing around behind you a little. They also don't carry much.

They do make racks for bikes without rack mounts though.

A cheaper one is the Axiom Streamliner Disc:
http://www.amazon.com/Axiom-Streamliner-Disc-Cycle-Black/dp/B004094HY2/

A lighter but more expensive one (that is designed to be a rack solution on full carbon bikes as well as others) is the BONTRAGER BACKRACK LIGHTWEIGHT:
http://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/equipment/cycling-accessories/bike-racks/bontrager-backrack-lightweight/p/08214

They both work the same way - at the top they attach under the rear brake bridge. At the bottom they attach via the wheel skewer, putting the weight of anything on the rack right onto the wheel axel (same place your bodyweight goes).

P.S. I see someone else said something similar and mentioned some of these racks below as well.

u/illustribox · 1 pointr/whichbike

Well, so far people are just throwing out bike models. If you plan on touring, it is probably better not to get a pure road bike. Something like a cyclocross bike or one of Soma or Surly's options may suit your needs well. The only problem with that stipulation is that it severely cuts down your used options and your budget options for new bikes. It may be wise to broaden the options to "endurance geometry" road bikes, as many of those have rack points and longer chainstays to get the load weight closer from being behind the rear axle.

As for choosing a bike model, pick the reputable manufacturer's bike that fits you best. Different manufacturers have different geometries (e.g. Italian bikes tend to have shorter top tubes proportionally). It can be useful to scour the internet for sales. We're a little out of the "sale season" though, which occurs during fall as new model year bikes are coming out. Check performance bikes anyway (their business method is "always having a sale") along with the other internet folk that sell reliably good bikes.

Something like this, perhaps. Keep in mind if you want a rack, that one doesn't have rack points, but you can use something like the Axiom Streamliner Disc or P-clamps to get a standard rack mounted on there.

Edit: Ah I forgot, you may look into something from the "gravel" genre. Think a less-snappy cyclocross bike with rack mounts. If you like any of Surly or Soma's products (e.g. the Double Cross is probably the best frameset I can think of for your purposes), a build for one of those wouldn't be too bad. ~$500 for the frameset, get a 105 group from probikekit for $380, build a wheelset on a 105 hubset, and find some bits like stem, bars, saddle on sale and you're not looking too much over a thousand at least. Though you are looking at assembling the bike yourself, which requires some tools.

Installed super easily. I'm only using it for fairly light loads. 15in laptop and a change of clothes (no shoes). If I was really going to load it up I'd probably change the top mount to one that clamps the seatpost.

u/bikephotog · 1 pointr/bikecommuting

Axiom Disc Rack mounted to a seat clamp with eyelets would fix the lack of eyelets and seat stay mounting points problem for a rack. About to do this on my brother's Fuji Roubaix.

u/MathHugger · 1 pointr/bicycling
u/pimpthatbike · 1 pointr/cycling

No way 700c would fit.

I replaced the pads in the back and it's all good now, will do the front later so brakes are taken care of. I will probably get a SS chainring 48+ teeth for the front. Cleaned up the derailleur and its much better now, but I still gotta get it tuned by a shop (shifts great but skips 5 and 8)

Also, since my rear rack is taped on right now I was looking at getting this. From reviews a fender should fit underneath it. I've got the hole between the seat stays to mount a fender, but do you know of one that fits on disc brakes?

I haven't been able to find a rigid fork that has the correct axle to crown length, from what I've researched mine is 480mm and would shoot for a ~450mm fork. Would I need to get a 700c wheel and smaller fork to offset it? After that I'd look into a different handlebar or better bar ends, as the ones on it are 10 pounds and from a huffy.

Thanks for the help all, looks like I can salvage this.
