Hello all, new to the forum
Last year I rode 3-4 times per week at 18-25 miles and looking to buy a new bike that has some flexibility yet somewhat fast and comfortable, hence Carbon Fiber. Currently looking at the Roubaix SL2 and the Secteur Comp for carbon frames. I am finding each LBS shop has a different view about attaching an aftermarket bike rack on the back that fits on the back axle and brake... My question is, can you place an after market rack on a carbon frame without messing up the frame or losing warranty? I would only need it to haul max of 15-20 Lbs (Camera equipment) on rare occasion and I weigh 190.. Any thoughts.
By the way, great site!
