Hey everyone, I’d love to hear your thoughts on this setup. I know a rear rack isn’t typically associated with bikepacking, but what do you think of this approach?
This custom rack allows for side-mounted cages, making it versatile for carrying gear while maintaining some bikepacking principles. Have any of you tried something similar? How do you feel about mixing traditional racks with a more minimalist packing style?
Would love to hear your experiences and feedback!

Looks really solid and also looks good on the bike! I want one haha
Pretty sweet, man
Looks good, I think there are racks/panniers that would fit better and carry more but this is very unique and it looks pretty secure. I’d call it a win!
I like it, I used the tumbleweed T-Rack which is similar, I’ve used it as a front and rear rack before. I’m a front rack kinda guy though.
Looks neat! As an alternative, Arkel and others have small panniers that are slung over a rear rack like yours and carry a similar volume to your setup but without the need for extra cages and straps. I’ve been thinking about getting a pair
There’s a couple racks that already do this, the T-Rack being one of them. I’m going to be testing out the T Rack this year and I’m pretty psyched on this style of set up.
