Hi everyone.

I'm new here.

Ok, I'm thinking of going on a short tour. Something like 2 weeks max, mainly on-road cycling. I plan to use my present GT Aggressor. I think it's a 01 model. Plan to use racks / panniers combo, as I don't think trailers are available in asis. Not that I know of anyway. ;p

So, does anyone have any good affordable sturdy racks to recommend. My GT frame doesn't have those rack mountin holes near the rear axle. I think they are called "Braze on's", if I'm not wrong? I don't think I want to go for Topeak's seat-post rack. Just paranoid about it breaking. Since the frame doesn't have braze on's, I presume I would need a special rack and can't use standard racks which require mountin on the braze on's?

How about disc brakes? It seems as though a rack would interfere with the placement of my disc brakes.

That said, I'm looking for a rack to fit onto a mtb which doesn't have braze ons. Maybe clamps onto the seat-stays or maybe mounts onto the rear axle. It should be able to allow disc brakes too.

Any ideas / suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
