Thanks to all who responded to my earlier jacket question. I am utilizing a front basket on my fixed gear commuter that comes in handy for putting my briefcase in, and the occasional small bag of groceries picked up on the way home. I would like to set up some kind of carrier on the rear as well? Another basket would be nice, so I assume it ought to be installed on top of a rear rack? I'm not leaning towards panniers because I don't want something there that would invite theft, but feel free to convince me otherwise.
Any suggestions for decent rear racks that could take the added weight of a small basket?
If I use my fender mounts, I assume I would have to get longer bolts, so if I wanted to be lazy, are there any racks that just mount to the stays? I have a rear brake bolt free (only using my front brake on my fixie) so I guess that could support a rear mounting system.
Sorry if these are noobish questions, but as I complete my first full week of commuting (faster and more fun than the subway!) I'm trying to find ways to optimize the trip.
Regards,
