Bike Racks

[redstone02]

Hello All,

I’m looking to purchase accessories for my bike in preparation for converting to ebike.

My bike does not have disc brakes; my experience is that rack outlive bikes and my next bike will have disc brakes. Current bike is a Schwinn Avenue Hybrid 700Cx38mm.

At this time looking at rear racks and rear lights.
For the rack: Topeak Super Tourist Tubular Bicycle Trunk Rack DX

For the rear light: Portland Design Works Danger Zone Tail Light
http://www.amazon.com/Portland-Design-Works-Danger-Light/dp/B00435IPFK/ref=sr_1_4?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1344360632&sr=1-4&keywords=rear+bike+light

I like the two light flashing pattern.

I have no idea on the rack. Are the rails, or lock-in track, “quick-track mounting system” a universal type? Do other manufactures make bags that fit the rails or tracks? Or is this unique to Topeak bags and accessories? Looking to rack mount the battery and a quick removal method would be great.

Thanks,
Red

It's topeak only. So make sure your battery choice fits a topeak bag, if that is where you are heading.

I;ve not seen these in the flesh but I love the look of this Plestcher gear. I have one of the double leg kick stands on my cargo bike and it is bullet proof!

Thanks! Just the information I needed: all rack locking systems are unique and not standardized.
