Hi all

Couldn't find anything relating to this on the site.

Does anyone know of, or has purchased the pannier racks for a full suspension MTB?
The only one I can find is the topeak one with a max load of 10kg.

I'm after one so I can start commuting to work and carry all my gear, as I have to take a laptop hom every day too, plus gym gear, plus work gear plus cycling gear.

Be nice to be able to chuck some panniers on the bike.

not sure if these are available here, but they look pretty solid. Try Dirtworks.

The Freeload is available at Cell for $119 here: http://www.cellbikes.com.au/Freeload-Rack

Can't even find that cheaper O/S.

Depending no the load, you might also want to consider the Topeak BeamRack (they come in 3 flavours, this is the 'V'):

The BeamRack is a lot cheaper (40-50 bucks from CRC).

Classic, thought no-one replied because the notifications went to my spam box.

Thanks guys, yeh, saw the freeload thing today, and have seen the topeak one too. Looking for something that can carry, probably mainly my gym gear, so not massive loads.

Anyone actually used the freeload or topeak?

I have a freeload on the back of my Merida 120. All good except if not loaded then either take the whole thing off or as I do just the base plate. It will fall off on a ride otherwise. Otherwise all good. Got from Ground effects NZ.
