putting on a rear rack with disc brakes
how do i put a rear rack on a bike with disc brakes? i want to use my panniers for commuting, but the discs are in the way of the mounting posts. suggestions, short of rewelding the frame or rack? seat post racks don't allow me to use the panniers...

The LBS recommends old man mountain too for disc brakes. Do a search in the touring forums to see how people adapt racks to their disc equiped touring bikes.
