Hi Guys,

http://www.decathlon.co.uk/EN/orion-17253728/

Has anyone ever used one of these? It looks like it clamps to the seat post and can hold 8kgs. I'd want it to hold some work clothes (no shoes) some sandwiches, tin of soup and a towel.

Do you think it would be any good. The bike I'd be using won't have holes for a pannier rack unfortunately.

Well if anyone is interested. I picked one of these up yesterday as it was cheapish. It seems fairly sturdy and has done the job with a basic back pack, straps wrapped around the rack and the bungee cord thingy (forget the name now) tied onto that. Not loaded more than a few clothes but seems ok. It needs an allen key to adjust the level and sods law I've lost yet another set so that's something else I need to buy but it does the job. Will be using it for work tomorrow so will see how much it can cope with.

This one looks like a better design, it has a quick release and attaches to the seat frame and the seat post.

Not sure of UK supplier though.
