School Me On - Luggage Racks

[Wrench]

Those F&R wire baskets remind me of someone with a paper route
But they are very useful, They can easily haul anything

Looking at the install "vid" for th rack @DAMIEN1307 posted above... it shows a frame with holes already up at the seat stay for the front posts to mount to. Of course we don't have those on our frames. I assume you're using some sort of clamt in it's place? I think I see one in that photo...

Darn it, I posted the wrong one...Here is the correct one...I will correct my first post on this as well since we have to be picky with what will fit on the Hypers, Most of the others will not fit without major modifications but this one will fit.

I had other racks that fit the Huffy's etc...There was just no way to make the other racks fit the Hyper without either drilling holes or other modifications that I just wasn't gonna do to the Hyper frame...lol.

And this is the actual bag I bought for my rack that fits like a glove...There is an envelope "sleeve" opening that runs along the bottom side of the bag that the metal lift up hold down of the rack slips into perfectly to hold the bag securely even better than the velcro hold downs...It holds so well that I cut off the velcro strip fasteners off of the bottom of the bag...lol.

Either of the two bags I have now posted will fit though, one with the velcro strips only, and this one that you can do either way as described above.

I've on occasion welded 1/4, 20 nuts onto steel frames to be used as bosses

Brass won't weld to see very well

I meant to post a rivet nut, fixed it. Look at the link, a lot of us don't have welders.

I'd reccomend a Nutzert kit to anyone that can afford it. Them nutzerts are handy for making & fixing all kinds of stuff. Especially if you want a rock solid threading solution.

Well now poop...

I already ordered the other one.

Too late to cancel outright. I guess I get to check it out... I guess I'll be hitting up home depot for a couple clamps it seems... They look nearly identical sans the clamps.

Wald makes really nice racks & baskets. Here is a super nice rear rack, its 1/2price at the moment.
