Commuting - racks

hello, i'm wondering what is a good brand and good size for a rack? i'm using the bike for school as well. i sometimes have to carry a lot to school- but there's also a inter campus shuttle. so my commute to school on days with a lot of stuff would be 1.5-2 miles. anyway, any help is appreciated.

Delta (http://www.deltacycle.com/product.php?g=24) racks are good and cheap.

+1 for the Delta.

The only thing I don't like about mine is that it doesn't have the extra loop of tubing extending towards the lower rear, but it holds 50 lbs+ of groceries. :)

If I see one of the touring type racks, I'll get it to replace it, but the Delta's been good for me.

Jandd (http://www.jandd.com) racks. I have this (http://www.jandd.com/detail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=FREXP) one.

You could look at the Topeak (http://www.topeak.com/2006/products/racks/rackmain.php) racks as well if their panniers fit your needs. The MTX system is pretty easy to attach/detach.

The strut coming straight down from the back of the rack stops the rear of the pannier from swinging into the spokes when doing sudden manoeuvres.

I have a Blackburn and a clone of a Blackburn and they both work well.
