So, having never even thought of slapping a rack on my bike I am looking for suggestions and things to look out for.
I have a 26" wheel MTB with disk brakes and braze-ons. I have no aspirations for panniers or anything at this time but may consider it in the future.
Thoughts?
TIA
Is the tab for the brake on the seat stay or the chain stay? Chain stay means you can basically use whatever rack you want. If it is seat stay, mounting a rack can be a bit trickier. There are racks out there designed specifically with disc brakes in mind. This one looks like overkill for your current intended purpose, but it also will allow you to use panniers later on.
