Rack fitting

[finch]

I have a project , which is to fit a rack to a MTB. However, said bike doesn’t have any mounting points at all , not even mudguard eyes. Also it has a dropper post , of which only about an inch of the fatter bit sticks out above the clamp.

Is there a rack that could feasibly be attached to the seat tube ? Or maybe at the usual places but with little clamps ? It doesn’t have to carry huge loads but it would be nice if it could hold panniers and maybe a tent on the top - say 10-12kg

There's several options none of which I have personal experience off as have always had at least mudguard eyelets to bodge something but a quick Google of pannier rack without fittings should help

Strong P-clips will sort that out

If you've got the money - Tailfin?

Can get a seatpost clamp with rack mounts built in.

Seatpost clamp with fittings sounds good

I have a rack on my Reasonably Priced Mountain Bicycle that attaches via an extra-long QR and a couple of sturdy P-clips around the seat-stays.  It adds faff when you have to remove the wheel, but it's been fine with a rack bag and occasionally panniers.  I added some ABS to the underside so it would double as a mudguard.

I'd combine the two suggestions above: seat clamp and QR mount.
