Rear rack for mixte frame suggestions?
Hello,
my first post here
Couple of years ago I got my hands on some nice apparently 80s-90s Winora mixte frame.
After upgrading drive train (wheel, cassette, derailleur, chain etc.) and old single-pivot Weinmann calliper brakes to Tektro R559, time has come to add some luggage space.
Unfortunetely, old rack has only one stay and to mount panniers (or at least something in Ortlieb messenger bag type) apparently at least two are needed:


So my question, can anyone recommend suitable rack with this type of mounting to seatstay? Most modern racks have mounts to eyelets. As fender is mounted to the rack, probably mousetrap type only comes into consideration.
Primary usage is commute ~12km/8miles to work with <5kg of stuff and that will fit into basket I installed, however i'd like to be able to go into shopping mall once every week or two and don't have to haul 15-20kg only in the backpack.
Wheels are 622/28".
Thanks in advance.

But how do i mount it?
I found here:

"adapter angle" and "Carrier mount for cross plate" parts. Should that do the trick?

Most any rack should be OK; mount the rack struts to P clamps and the P clamps to the seat stays.
