cheap pugsley racks/mudgaurds

the beady eyed among you lot may have spied new racks on my pugsley when i was floating about in the local river,well i had hacked up a rear rack off my commuter for the front of the pug to go on holiday to the western isle`s of harris back in july so i needed another rack for my cannondale commuter,edinburgh bike co-op do a cheap lightwieghtmountainbike rack with splash gaurd for £15,i orderd one but apon arrival found it was actually too short and touched the full mudgaurd-out with the measuring tape and i discoverd it would fit the pugsley front and rear and would give me a mudgaurd both ends too,i went back on line and ordered another then fitted it on the rear, the axion rack already on the pugsley was a bit too tall which made pannier centre of gravity a bit too high...

while these racks are about right,so i fitted the sturdier axiom rack to the cannondale which makes sense as its the only bike i usually carry heavy items on with panniers(shopping)and it had enough clearance...

..back to the pug and i used the axion racks mounts to fit the revolution rack onto the rear as there alot sturdier than the bike co-op revolutions bendy metal fittings..

once the rack was on i realised theres now enough space for a bottle cage to be cabletied on behind the seat post freeing up space in the frame bag...

a few days later the other revolution rack arrived and using the homemade fork/camera mount...

i fitted the other rack on the front...

and used the same spacers as the previous rack to offset it on the offset fork...

so ok these racks are not that robust compared to other more expensive racks and there a bit bendy but they wiegh next to nothing and offer to double up as mudgaurds,i dont plan on using panniers on my pugsley as i only plan on carrying a tent on the rear rack and sleeping bag and thermarest on the front so they will be fine for my needs,and at £30 for the pair there good value as is most of the products in the bike co-op`s revolution range
