What are my budget friendly rack options for my 1987 rockhopper ? I'm thinking just to put up tarp or a tent up there or maybe my 20 L cycling backpack . The open space on the rear rack will hold my 45 l hiking backpack with all my Camp specific stuff like my Ranger roll Etc. I know that carrying hiking specific backpacks is kind of frowned upon but I want the flexibility of living out of those or going on Mutual Aid road trip where I may not be able to squeeze my bike onto some vehicle .
I've been looking at my local bike Collective here in Corvallis for some rear racks that I could convert but that's a bit funky . My budget is about 20 or $30 for a front rack that could hold under 10 lb
