The more ive been commuting via cycling the more ive come across things i need to transport that wont fit in my backpack... So ive been thinking about purchasing a rack that clamps to the seatpost so it can be easily removed.. Any suggestions on a certain one/brand or are they all fairly similar due to the design being so simple

Alex reviewed one from Arkel recently. You can find that here. And there was another post on the forums about one too.

Alex did that one. I'm fortunate to have him as a contributor.

Bones, keep in mind the 13 lb load "limit" is just as a precaution if you are mounting to carbon. The rack is plenty strong for more weight if you're putting it on a steel or aluminum post. Let me know if you have any specific questions about the Arkel.

That should work well.. Both my bikes have aluminum seat post.. And i really like the fact its easy on easy off for the days i decide to commute with my roadbike

I tried a rear rack that clamps on my seat post and it never tightened enough. So after many attempts I had it welded. Problem solved. I don't know why it took me so long to think of this.

It likely never tightened enough due to a diameter compatibility issue. It probably needed to be shimmed. Whatever works is good, though.

Here's the link for Topeak as long as your post is aluminum, there are 3 different ones depending on your bike size. Had one for years, works great and also has a quick release clamp for removal.
