Hey everyone,
I need to get a rear rack, and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. A tubus would be nice, but I can't afford that right now.

I would be carrying medium loads. Groceries for one, textbooks, ect.

Thanks

Blackburn EX-1 for a 700C bike or a MTN-1 if your bike is a MTB.

The Blackburns are okay, but can be a bit short for some people and loads. Jandd makes a nice long rack for bigger loads like groceries.

I've got a Topeak MTX that's been shifted around from bike to bike. $29 at REI, tubular aluminum, quite solid. I'd definitely recommend it.
