Rear rack & mudguard recommendations for titanium Kinesis GF_Ti Disc

    Hi all,

    I recently got my new do-almost-everything bike to replace my aging and one dimensional Battaglin S11.

    Built up the Kinesis GF_Ti Disc titanium frame with Ultegra Di2, hydraulic discs, Hunt Aero Light wheels – it is an amazing bike that I want to use for almost everything.

    To round it out for winter use I need some mudguards. I am running 28mm Shwalbe Pro tubeless tyres and the frame has direct mounts for guards. What do you suggest? I have been looking at the Velo Orange hammered steel black set but I am allergic to rattling and clattering when in use.

    To set up for my shopping trips, round town errands and future light touring I will need a rear rack. Again, the frame has direct mounting. I would like either (a) a rack which is very trivial to add and remove or (b) a very light and aerodynamic one. I will do approx 90% of my km without load so I am keen to not be laden during that time. Currently looking at the Tubus Airy or Tubus Logo Titan

    What do people think on these topics? Budget is fairly relaxed so long as the products are pretty perfect.

    Cheers,
    Eddy

    I have Portland Design Works

    I have Portland Design Works guards on my Racelight T2, but you’d need the 45mm size to fit your tyres. They can be modified to screw onto the bridge bit (forgotten the name) between the chain stays and are rattle-free when fitted properly.

    You could ask Upgrade what they’d recommend to fit your bike?
