Simple this: if you have a bike without rack mounts on the seat stays, and you want to fit a rack, pop off your standard seat collar and fit this Rack Lock from Salsa instead.
Obviously it'll still do the job of keeping your seatpost in the right place but welded on to the rear is a barrel with both ends tapped out with an M5 thread, so you can attach your rack to it. That means the pinch bolt is round the front, which keeps it out of the way of mucky spray from the rear wheel (if you don't have mudguards) which is an added bonus.
