Carrying 3 man tent, q sleeping bag, one mat on bike

[mattyfez]

Hey,

I have a hard tail Mountain bike, looking for the best solution for a 3 day 'trip'.

My backpack can carry most stuff but presumably I need to look at a rear rack to strap tent, typical 3 man dome tent in a cylindrical bag, sleeping bag and possibly a sleeping mat.

I've seen some but just wondering about compatability with a hard tail /disk brakes.

Any suggestions, it's only for very occasional use so don't care about looks, maybe even get a second hand rack but I don't really know what to look for, I've seen some decent looking ones around the £30 mark such as topeak ones but don't really want to spend that much.

Thanks for the suggestions, that Edinburg one looks good value.

It will need to be reasonably strong as the riding will be bridleway, dirt track etc..

Eventually ordered this, along with a set of 6 bungee chords.. hopefully it will fit! It's black cheap and 6061 Ali alloy and good weight capacity so hopefully will do the job.
