I'm sure this has been kicked around, but it's worth another query as we get close to spring here in Wisconsin.
I'll be doing some light "credit card" touring and road riding on a new bike. The Felt does not have braze-ons to mount a rear rack (which is my usual M.O.) Of course I won't be doing the fully loaded touring I did in my youth, but... I kinda like having somewhere to put an extra shirt/sweatshirt, plus misc repair gear, snacks, etc. I won't always be wearing a 3-pocket jersey.
Am I best to stay away from seat-post mounted racks? Will they just be trouble, swinging about in the long run?
I'm looking at the
Trek Quick Cleat MOunting rack (http://willybikes.com/site/itemdetails.cfm?ID=5290&Catalog=1&sort=Price)
or a
Jannd Bag (http://www.jandd.com/detail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=FMW2B)
any other ideas? The Carrandice look nice but a bit pricey for my taste right now
