Have you tried installing any racks on your spalding? Do you think it's feasible?
Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.
it has the little holes on the frame for racks. but only a rear rack, the fork doesn't have these. so a rear rack is absolutely feasible.
for me i use a messenger bag for my stuff as i have a rack on my other bike and find it way easier and quicker to use a bag. now if my commute was 10+ miles one way i would switch to a rack.
i was about to buy a topeak rack with the mtx medium bag and mtx basket because i thought it would work with an older topeak rack i have on the other bike. but because they are not compatible with the older racks i bought a messenger bag instead at tjmaxx for $15.
