I needed a rear rack for bikepacking but the racks online especially tailfin are quite expensive, however being an engineer and seeing it online it looked quite easy to make myself. So i took some metal scraps I had laying around bended it, drilled some holes and done 🙂

It is remarkably sturdy and stiff giving good quality for its purpose, weight is also similair to a tailfin aluminium.

For a bag I will use my saddle bag, but because it so big it bounces alot especially on gravel, so I will mount it to this rack and the seatpost to make it more one with the bike without bouncing too much.

On the sides there is still the option to make bidon holder or something to carry more gear if I would need it.

What are your thoughts on it? And if you would like tips on how to make it feel free to ask 😉
