I'd like a rack on my MK2 Stooge which doesn't have mounts. I'm wondering if these might do the job?

I'd imagine that I'll be carrying 2-3kg max.
Any thoughts please?

Re: drj0n Limpet
No reason I can see why they won't work. They look much stronger than a P clip and people use those.
May the bridges you burn light your way

I recently was on a three day trip and used the GFunk clamps which seem fairly similar to the Limpets.

Looks good, could use cable cleats for a budget version. Depending on the size, 50p odd each from an electrical factors.

Or something like these?

These might be at the spendy end of the market but certain I have seen them on ebay.
Search stainless steel marine p clip and look for the rubber lined version.
They are made for a range of tube sizes so you will need to do some measuring at the point you need to fix at
if you have tapered tubes.

Re: drj0n Limpet
I've used rubber lined stainless steel P clips on my Ramin and they haven't budged. As mentioned above, getting the correct size is important, but they're a viable and relatively cheap option. I've used the drop out mounts as a backstop to prevent them moving downwards.

Thanks for the info everyone they certainly sound like a viable option.

The Cumbrian do you have a pic of your ramin rack solution please, cheers
Re: drj0n Limpet
Went with one of these and a 31.8 seat clamp with mounts built in. Hopefully it'll work out...
