I'm still working on a custom snapdeck, ways to add grocery bags and attachments for the xtracycle rack
To be honest it doesn't feel like much thought went into the Xtracycle P rack, sure you can clip on panniers, but they pretty much slide left and right, there are only 3 vertical bars in the middle to stop the clips from sliding and these are in the wrong places to accommodate 2 panniers side by side (as advertised)
I'll make it work but for the price I expected more
Best thing you can do is email Xtracycle and let them know what you liked and didn't like about the P-racks. At least it gives them the chance to improve the design.
