Is it possible to add a rear rack to this bike? Is it possible to add a rear rack to this bike? Or is the frame missing the required hardware?

you might find a rack 1st, that you like,and then ask the manufacturer of the rack if it will install on this particular bike.other than that, it may be hit or miss,installing your/a rack onto this bikemarc

Yes, A rack can be installed but you may need an extra set of hardware. Here's an Amazon link, but you really only need the rubber coated clamps with the bolts/nuts in the set that can be found at most bike shops... CARRIER HARDWARE ACTION MTB 180MM

Well you are encountering the same problem I had with my Diamondback 29er. There is no way to attach the carrier to the frame because there are no bosses on the frame. I did not want to drill the frame because it may compromiise the strengh of the frame. You could call Diamondback and ask. Topeak offers another carrier which Amazon carries for bikes with this concern.

Topeak also makes a rack that fastens in the pre-threaded holes on the bike frame near the rear wheel hub. Reply back if you have any questions and I'll get you a link to the other type of rack

i'm not positive, but compare them side by side and there should be additions to the back board, or new handles or small changes to the frame. sorry can't help more than that. Tom.

Oops ~ there's something wrong here! I received everything and more to install this rack on my bicycle. I had a bunch of hardware left over. Write to Amazon and the supplier ~ maybe they can ship a package of hardware that was left out of your parcel.

No, you don't need a rack. But - just be sure your bike doesn't have tapered stems because you'll have a heck of a time with this seat. It will require permanent installation.

If you don't have any mounting holes then you are out of luck to mount any rear rack on your bike properly. What about the front?

I checked the manual and it says no accessories or equipment (racks, etc) on rear that interfer with tow bar. Looking at it on my bike I agree it would not work. The bar is just above the wheel leaving no place for a rack.

Looks like a standard frame, should fit .... You'll need a rear carrier rack to attach the basket.. if you're not handy with tools, have a friend who is do it.. make sure the basket is to the rear enough to clear your heel when peddling.

Yes... But, nothing that you can buy officially. I found 2 short (hockey stick looking) metal bars that were able to attach to the bike frame and the short arms from a local bike shop. I'd start by looking there and asking them

You would have to make a bracket or use maybe a u bolt with some rubber padding. I like most just mounted it under the handle bars in the frame. Bolted and zip tied. Rides well

I looked at a few pictures of that bike and I am going to say that it will not. It does not look like the rear of the frame has the bolt holes to accommodate it, nor does it have the unused cantilever brake bolt holes to fit the top of the rack to. It MIGHT be possible to make it fit, but it may take a bit more hardware and some kludging.Mine is mounted on a Mongoose Comp Tyax 24-speed with disk brakes. It was a direct and easy bolt-on.

Yes you could , and use two brackets on the top of the rear rack. You might lose some of the stability of the baskets by not using the lower bracket that connects to the frame. It was easy to connect to the rack though. But and a bolt tighten to a P shaped clamp. I use them every day. Open up easy and I added a shot if WD-40 to the little hinge that holds the basket closed when not in use and was a big help. Take care, John

No place to attach to the bike. You might be able to purchase a bracket or Velcro it to the handle bars.

No, the second rail you see on the back is a ramp that attaches to load a bike. The ramp itself doesn't have enough support to hold weight.
