Wiggle sells their products online.
P-Clamps are a cheap way of attaching a rack to seat stays and there are seatpost clamps that are made for attaching racks to.
I've looked at the tubus racks and they are way above my budget..are p clips safe? Many people complain that they damage the bike. Could they withstand the weight of a rack with 2 panniers? Would I need P clips to attach the top end to my bike? (sorry I'm completely iliterate in this field).
Does the tubus QR adapter also have this complication of flats?
I spoke to the place I got my bike and he told me to get this:

my concern is that it weighs 1kg itself and it can only carry 10kg..
Thanks
