While I agree with much of what you’ve said, I gotta disagree here. It’s not impossible. It’s just a bit more difficult. My YBB above is a full suspension bike that has a rack.


It wouldn’t be impossible to add a rack to this dually. I could use the brake bosses and Tubus rack clamps. As long as I kept the load small...similar to what I use on the YBB, it wouldn’t have much effect on the suspension.



It’s not terribly practical but it could be done. This bike probably wouldn’t make a very good bikepacking bike anyway. The front triangle is a bit small for a pack even in the large size frame.
