    Can anyone recommend a rear rack for a road bike that doesn't have eyelets?

    I have a Tortec rack for my commuter bike and it does the job nicely and is also streamlined and light.
    (I use it with one of these Altura panniers)

    Looking for something similar for my road bike - something that isn't too agricultural...and cheap is good too :)

    Thanks!

    Found an answer - P-clips & seat post clamp https://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12796018

    If you have a carbon frame, p-clips are a no-no.

    If carbon, you might consider the Tubus rear-skewer conversion kit, plus a carrier that attaches to the brake bridge. Or a seatpost clamp with threaded bits.

    If alu or steel, you should be fine with p-clips.

    Good point. Road bike isn't that expensive though :) carbon forks + 7005 aluminium frame so no probs there ;)
