Couple of those will put you over the £35 limit...</p> <p>Oh the Dahon racks are pretty well made. I bought a (Traveller) front rack made by them to fit to my 20" folders when I need more carrying capacity. Very nice and sturdy too: doesn't seem to be freely available any more though. I think some dealers are cutting back on Dahon stock? Dahon/Tern split a factor? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8242#post-82205 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 16:54:46 +0000 SRD 82205@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks for that link. Not a bad deal, although I notice their free shipping cut-off is £35! Good price on alters nightvision jacket though.... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8242#post-82190 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 14:01:56 +0000 crowriver 82190@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.discountcyclesdirect.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=13168">Dahon Traveller with 38% off here</a>: £34. (RRP £55). This is the best rack if you want normal panniers, as its design moves the load up and back compared to most racks for 20" wheeled bikes. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8242#post-82185 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 13:41:35 +0000 cb 82185@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Remember to consider heel clearance when rack purhasing/fitting. You may have to fit smaller panniers than planned and/or mount them as far back as possible. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8242#post-82150 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 12:08:17 +0000 crowriver 82150@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>You could jury-rig a Pletscher adjustable rack or similar. Otherwise there are Dahon specific rear racks. Biketrax may have one, if not it's online.</p> <p>The 'Arc' rack/carrier is the standard issue, max. load 10kg. If you want more robust, then the 'Traveller' rack/carrier is designed for touring, takes full sized panniers up to 25kg I think.</p> <p>About £35-£40 IIRC. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8242#post-82148 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 11:43:58 +0000 SRD 82148@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I think I'll need to add a rear rack and a stand to my newly acquired (albeit slightly used ) Dahon Helios SL.</p> <p>Is there anywhere in town that sells appropriate parts or can advise? Or will I have to go online ? Or do I not need specialist parts anyway? </p>
