Rear rack but no eyelets. Any alternatives?

Need/want a rear rack to fit panniers for longer rides. But unfortunately my frame havent got eyelets on the rear dropout for mounting normal racks.
Are there any alternatives that fit to the axle or clamp on to the stays and mount to the brake hole, instead?

Been searching the bay for a while but can't find any.

P-clips (tip courtesy of EdScoble). I was lucky to have the top mounting line up close enough to the seat clamp.

Tubus racks are what you are looking for

Is there one for 10mm axles?

these are quite useful too..

Will clips/clamps hold the weight?

it's not the seatpost part you're worried about, it's the drop out part that hold all the weight.

p-clip are good but not a proper solution, check out Old Man Mountain as well as other has suggested, the Tubus rack (whom also designed for bicycle that doesn't have such mount).

I'm checking out the Blackburn EX1 Expedition rack later - comes with P clips and reasonably cheap and been assured that enough clearance for 29er (which is what I need)

P clips

Check the touring/touring equipment threads few pages back.

There's an option of seatstays mounted clips, rear brake bridge mounted, with a seatpost clamp etc.

Bought the Blackburn EX1 rack - P clips are way too small for diameter of stays on an On One Scandal - I am much sadness :(

There's more than one sizes of p-clip.

what part? near the seat tube or seat stay? I wouldn't really recommended p-clip near the drop out as all your luggage weight will be on it.

There'll be a way. Buy some pipe brackets?

yeah, the hardware store I think would have something suitable is closed for annual holiday :( need something sorted before I travel early Sat AM

A few options here, but looking at the cost I would be thinking about getting the hacksaw out and making a couple of plates to put the QR through as shown in the 4th item down

Tubus do a whole range of very high quality p-clip type things in a range of sizes:

Infact, I mounted my Tubus Logo with these just yesterday, along with the QR attachment. Very solid.

Important note: Put inner tube around the frame before mounting any kind of P-Clip. You will get more grip, more even application of pressure from the clamp and it will protect the finish of the frame.

you can also have your dropouts drilled depending on what kind they are and if there is enough space

Surly said it best in their blog post that I can't find, it was called something like "Answers to common forum questions" and one was; Can I fit a rack to my bike that does not have rack mounts? and the answer was simply, "yes you can, with P clips"

Solutions like drilling the dropouts it great if you have the time/money/skills to get it done, I strongly think P clips offer the best performance for your £.

Many people have already mentioned Tubus and for very good reason their racks are top notch (backed up by their guarantee). They sell their own P-clip based mounting kit for all their racks.

They may be made in China but unlike most manufacturing there, the land, factory and workers are all owned, paid amd trained directly by Tubus (most company's out source the manufacturing, leaving them with less power over QA), Orbea bikes do the same thing for their US and AUS bikes (UK ones are all made in Spain and Portugal) and they have more issues with their Portuguese manufacturing than their China factory. The racks might as well be made in Germany.

A Tubus rack with their own "Clampset" (P clip) mounting system sounds like the best option for you, and for most people.

Scroll down to the "Clampset for mounting a carrier on seat stays without eyelets" get yourself and Tubus rack and away you go!

I know I have largely repeated what others have said but please see it as reforcement of their points.

Necrobump, but I've a similar problem, there's the option of a seatpost mounted rack (clamps onto the post itself) and I don't need to carry much weight, it's just to get the change of clothes for work off my back. But I've got a carbon seatpost. Will I die?

doubtful, but best to eer on the side of caution, those Carradice SQR might be a good idea as the bag clip on/off easier than those seatpost mounted rack;

Have a feeling you wouldn't want to have those seatpost mounted rack on all the time.

thanks Ed

Have this exact same dilemma, doing a 5-day credit-card tour round Wales on a carbon bike. Seems like those SQRs are my best bet for a spare set of clothes, tools, bit of grub etc. Also worried about mounting it on a carbon seatpost but everything I've read said "it'll probably be fine". Couple of people mentioned wrapping some old innertube around the post to attach the mount to, partly to stop scratches and partly to spread the stress more evenly.

Another option is bikepacking, half the weight of the SQR and much more secure.

I was happy to just wear the same clothes all week, turn 'em inside out halfway through the trip but apparently I'm gonna need stuff like a toothbrush...

Carbon seatpost is fine, especially when you considered that it's at an angle and you weight more than a toothbrush...

...I think.
