    I’m looking for a pannier rack for my new Merida Silex 700. Merida sell one but it doesn’t seem to be available in the UK. The bike has a single fixing hole in the back (pic below) and not the pair that most panniers seem to have. Can anybody advisie a reasonably good pannier rack that would fit?

    If the single hole you’re referring to is the one on the brake bridge then racks which have a ‘bed’ (rather than just a frame) often have holes for a single fixing strap to connect to the brake bridge – see pic.

    Agreed, they work well. Given its an aluminium frame I’d go with that and P-clips on the seat stays to support the rack legs.

    How much do you want to carry

    How much do you want to carry? There are lots of good seatpost-only racks out there that are rated for 10kg.

    Yes, these seat post collars
    Yes, these seat post collars with the rack mount points are really good. I saw someone at work with one, and then was able to use it to fit a rack to my partner’s bike. Then you just get to use a normal rack.

    I have an Ortlieb Quick Rack that I’m very happy with, I also bought the mudguard you can fit to it.

    Can you use something like
    Can you use something like the Zefal Gizmo III Bottle Cage Mount – basically bottle cage mounts on cable ties – or ‘P’ clamps to create the mount points?
