I've been given conflicting information by two area Trek dealers so I hoped some one on the list might have some advice.

The Trek Pilot 5 has eyelets at the rear hub. One Trek dealer said he could mount a rear rack on the bike with no problem. The other Trek dealer said you cannot mount a rack to any carbon frame and he didn't know why the eyelets are there. He said he thought putting a rack on it would void the warranty.

The Trek Pilot 5 is all carbon, a Trek Pilot 2 (I believe) is combination carbon and aluminum.

Who's right?

I'm trying to choose between the Pilot and a Specialized Sequoia. IlLike the Pilot, but not if I can't have a sturdy rear rack (not a seat-post variety).

Thanks for the help.
