I adapted a standard Blackburn rack instead of the Avatar’s original optional pannier carrier. Because my bike did not utilize the standard cantilever brakes, I had the two cantilever mounting posts from which to construct supports.
And, I also ran another support from my rear brake caliper mount.
As mentioned under Front Pannier set-up, I use a set of Arkel bags which which are the bee’s knees – leaving nothing wanting.
