Custom Pannier racks - help
Folks I am in India currently and trying to get custom pannier racks made. what is a light weight, tough material with which i can get the racks made (including a carrier - top box). I have looked at the stainless steel stuff they make in delhi but they are too clumsy. Any help appreciated

Mild steel square tubing will do the trick.
Square so that it's quick and easy to work with , Mild steel so that any mods or repairs can be done anywhere you can find a guy with a welder . Slap some paint on it and you are away ! Unless of course you require "posh" or "trendy" .

second that...mild steel is the universal language.
aluminum or stainless in an area where your crochettish butt flirts and you'll be beaten by the Ugly Stick from dusk to dawn.  http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...nd-cases-25368 I have a couple months on this set-up now, and the universal military-style racks are absolutely killer...you have instant carry flexibility when the cases are off...and case size is only limited by your imagination...you could strap 600# on it if you were a sadist...tires...firewood... maidens held for ransom...

raisola probably has his own steel tube masterpiece by now. click HERE for photos of mine
these metal boxes (and the rack) were custom-made for less than $300USD while i was teaching english in Colombia.
