This is my commuter bike. I want to add panniers to it but it doesn't have any fittings for bolts, so I rigged this up with P clamps. It seems fairly sturdy but wanted to get a second opinion before putting any load on it. For info I will only load it with my laptop and change of clothes, maybe about 2kg. I'm also concered about mid-term durability. Has anyone tried something like this before? Are there better options?
I have also tried a rack that attaches only to the seat post, but due to the geometry of the bike it sat ridiculously high above the weel and also swayed side to side quite a bit, so I wasn't happy with that.
