How to Install Rear Rack on Carbon Thru Axle??

[vulpes_vulpes]

I have an Ibis Tranny 29'er that I want to install a rear rack on. The bike is full carbon, hardtail, 142x12mm thru-axle with no eyelets to install a rack. I am wondering...is there any way to install a rear rack on this bike?

You might look at the Thule Pack and Pedal rack as they'll mount to just about anything. If mounted properly, they are very solid. I used one on my Karate Monkey but I didn't like the weight in the end and went with a Rogue Panda Picketpost seat bag.

There might be some through axles out there that have a way to bolt on a rack.

That looks like a light bike, I'd be more prone to go with a seat bag to keep overall weight down.

Respectfully, I'd agree with the above and say don't run a rack.  With such a new-school, nice bike, how about using a seat bag or other modern setup over an old-school rack that uses the axle?  But if racks are your thing, how about the Freeloader?  Those don't use the axle.
