Reddit mentions of Axiom Mk 3 Alu Journey Uni-Fit Cycle Rear Rack, Black

I kicked my panniers all the time on my last bike. Switched to a rack and is extended a little rearward and had no issues.

>Is there a product or a setup that would allow me to permanently mount a milk crate or rear basket that sits on top of my rear rack AND be able to still use that rear rack as a mounting point for my removable pannier?

Sure. Get a rack with a second, lower, set of rails. There are a bunch of them. They might not all have the bar low enough to get your pannier off so use your judgement.

Here are a few I just found on Amazon. No experience with them though..

Axiom

Edit: the topeak I linked is the disc version. They make a non disc as well, seems to be the same price.

I put an Axiom Uni-Fit on my kona dew drop to get around the disc brake caliper. It comes with 3 different sizes of mounting brackets and is very adjustable to fit all kinds of bikes. Salsa and Axiom also both make a seatpost collar with eyelets on it if you don't have upper frame eyelets, although it's IMO a better mounting option even if you do.

Axiom Journey Uni-Fit

I have the Axiom Mk 3 Alu Journey Uni-Fit, it only comes in black (but a little matte grey spray paint could fix that). I have it on a 26in MTB bike, and it took a few times of moving the rear wheel attachment to get it to be perfectly flat, but I've had no problems since. Also - you'll likely need a collar for your seat post that allows the rack to attach to it, like this. I'm not sure what you are envisioning from a design perspective, but it strikes me as relatively mundane.

I use the axiom MK journey. This rack attaches to my rear brake mount and my rear axle.

I did some overnight tours on my CC before it was stolen. Here's my response from this thread,which you may find helpful.

>I've done some touring on my mostly stock setup. I had problems getting front panniers mounted with the stock brakes, so I switched to low profile cantis. It's been mentioned that heel strike will be an issue; I recommend a rack that is offset from the hub like the Axiom Mk Journey. Otherwise it does fine, a triple up front would be nice sometimes but I haven't needed it enough to upgrade.

I would add that by moving the rack rearwards, you avoid heel strike, but shifting all that weight back will affect handling, especially without a front rack. The bike is stable at speed, but at slower speeds it is pretty squirrely when loaded.

I've used it on a couple of CX bikes with a short chainstay, and it puts the bags well aft of my heel, no issues at all.
