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?

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

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?
