Hey! I'm currently building a rear bike rack using aluminum tent poles, that will serve a dual purpose as both luggage carrier and tent support for my ultralight trekking-pole tent. My goal is to reliably carry 8-10 lbs of gear on it, as well as make the poles easily removable for setting up the tent. I haven't seen any other folks trying this, so I figured I would ask the community about making this thing more functional.
Turns out I can't add pictures yet
