Just installed the Topeak Super Tourist rack on the 5.3. Had to get a disc compatible rack - of which there are few available here. Decathlon didn't seem to have any so I ordered mine from Evans Cycles. The rack cost 29GBP, about Rs 2230m and customs charged about Rs 800. Here are some the pics of the installed rack...

Hi
I am trying to fit a rack to my 5.3 and have just failed! Can you tell me what exactly you did to get that rack to fit
Dominic
What is the exact problem you are facing?

Well I bought a rack from Decathlon but it would not fit and I am thinking of buying the one you fitted.
I want to know if you had to do anything to get the rack that you fitted to work or was everything straightforward.
The standard Decathlon Rack will not fit. The Topeak fits, but make sure you buy the Disc version...
