Yeah there are standard rack mount eyelets on the seat stays near the hub, but then you need one of those seat clamps with the mounts for attaching the rods.
My load will be 17kg and there won't be anything else on there so hopefully it'll be OK.
The Tortec rack (not wide enough for the new load) I have on it at the moment says 35kg max. load but I have only ever had 11kg on there, which broke the Tubus rack roundstays. A couple of times.
But the stays that originally came with it were the ones with a kink in them - that was where the fractures happened. I only use the straight rods now.(That said I’m fairly confident 18kg is a conservative load limit)
I hope so. It's a top heavy load, no panniers down the sides. I have to strap it down very tight with ratchet straps. I'm thinking that this might cause a loss of a bit of flex when travelling and put extra stress on the stays. But I can't have the load moving around or falling out.

What are the mounting points of the minoura / bullitt? I think if you have 5mm rack mounting bosses you aren’t going to get much better load limit wise. 6mm or axle mounted etc will have much higher capacities.
