If you can't find the fixings I should be able to sort something out, especially given @wingpig's offer of bits.</p> <p>@wingpig - currently working on a mechano based solution for the decathlon rack I have, the frames have lugs but they're at an angle and I can't bend the mounts that came with the rack. If I need another set can I get back to you?</p> <p>@roibeard - if the other plans fall through a loaner would be fantastic, it's for the weekend after next. Don't worry about the panniers thanks, that was just me thinking ahead.</p> <p>Thanks. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18854#post-283951 Sun, 03 Jun 2018 15:52:13 +0000 wingpig 283951@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I have a pair of longish pannier straps doing nowt - also a set of P-clips if there are no lugs. Also might have a spare seat clamp with lugs. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18854#post-283950 Sun, 03 Jun 2018 15:21:37 +0000 SRD 283950@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@urchaidh - sorry I found the rack i remembered seeing, but it isn't with the connector bits at present. will see if I can track them down. </p> <p>But I'm also not sure it's an islabike rack. In fact, it would make sense that it wasn't an islabike rack, because I didn't think we had an extra one, but it looks a bit like one. Not exactly though. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18854#post-283941 Sun, 03 Jun 2018 11:57:34 +0000 crowriver 283941@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"The long mounting straps I probably need cost almost as much as the rack, so currently tinkering in the shed."</p> <p>A bit of aluminium L-shaped or box profile with holes drilled in it should do the trick. Handy for fixing racks to various non-standard shaped bikes... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18854#post-283888 Sat, 02 Jun 2018 10:47:24 +0000 Roibeard 283888@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I could lend a rack from a 20" Islabike, as it's not in use. Given the bike is a transport bike, it would be good to get the rack back in due course.</p> <p>I've got panniers too, however these are required for all of July, so the loan of these would only work if needed in June or August.</p> <p>PM if interested,</p> <p>Robert </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18854#post-283885 Sat, 02 Jun 2018 09:55:06 +0000 urchaidh 283885@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Still looking if anyone has anything. Also may be in the market for a couple of small (front) panniers to use on the racks, any condition considered?</p> <p>Got a cheap 20" rack from Decathalon which was looking good, but having a bit of trouble fitting it. The long mounting straps I probably need cost almost as much as the rack, so currently tinkering in the shed. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18854#post-283497 Mon, 28 May 2018 11:06:08 +0000 urchaidh 283497@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That would be great, thanks. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18854#post-283492 Mon, 28 May 2018 08:13:59 +0000 SRD 283492@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>pretty sure we have a spare one. will check. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18854#post-283490 Mon, 28 May 2018 07:48:11 +0000 urchaidh 283490@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Planning a wee overnight adventure with friends/kids and it's becoming clear that they will need to carry some of their own kit.</p> <p>Am hoping to get their sleeping bags/mats on their bikes as these are bulky but light, but am struggling as their bikes have no racks. </p> <p>Would anyone have a rack or two that would fit an Isla Bike Beinn 20 for sale, or loan for a weekend?</p> <p>Any other suggestions for carry stuff? </p>
