what does the panel think about a seat post rack being clamped on a Brommie
« on: 11 June, 2010, 08:38:47 am »
One of the main reasons for getting our Brommies has been for pootling with the kids on holiday. Ive got a couple of racks that clamp on a seat post, you know the sort.

Obviously there's the extra faf of fitting at the start of a pootle at the car boot but does anyone think use of such could cause any damage. I'm thinking it should be mounted low down.

Your wisdom is thanked in advance.   :thumbsup:

Other than the faff of meaning you can't fold it so quickly, I can't see a problem, myself.  I've been using a seatpost mounted SQR block to attach a saddlebag on my Brommie since forever...

I have used one on a normal bike for 300k audax rides with no problems although I think I would mount it low down to reduce the stress at the tune end.

ps get an airnimal we have rack mounts!
