Rear Rack
Saturday, September 10th, 2011Rear Rack
Can I put saddlebags and/or a rear rack on a Trek 1.2?
I'm thinking of getting a bicycle for my commute and for general recreation. My father is an avid cyclist and recommends Trek. Beyond that I don't know a whole lot, and he lives overseas and isn't around to help me with this.
I want to get a road bike, so I was thinking the Trek 1.2. It looks like a good entry-level bike, which is perfect for me.
My question is: Can I put saddlebags and/or a rear rack on one of these? Here is a link to it: http://www.trekbikes.com/us/en/bikes/road/1_series/12/
I know I can physically attach one to it. I guess my question is will that somehow screw up the bike.
Please have experience with cycling or otherwise know what you're talking about before you answer this question.
Yes you can put a rack on this bike. Look at the top of the wheel stay where it connects to the seat tube there is two bosses there for a rack attachment and there are two holes on the rear dropout. You can put a rack on it that accepts panniers (saddle bags).
