This rack is an ingenious little solution. The PDW Bindle Rack attaches to a seat post an adds rack capacity to any bike. For me, I have a need to carry snowshoes on my fat bike. And for that it works perfectly.
The rack attaches to the seat post and straps over the seat rails. I think it is primarily designed to fit tents and other similarly shaped object for bikepackers.
There is a nice fabric platform built in with 2 more straps for attaching gear.
It clamps around the seat post with a nice machined clamp.
To attach my snowshoes with are pretty awkward I used Voile straps.
So if you need a removable rack or a rack for a frame without eyelets pick this up.

The Bindle Rack is a seatpost mounted rack designed to easily haul your gear on multi-day cycling tours or just across town. The rack is constructed of lightweight alloy and mounts to any size seatpost in seconds. Heavy-duty compress straps loop through saddle rails to carry your cargo. The Bindle Rack helps to prevent side-to-side sway while riding and rear wheel rub for riders with short seat posts.
Place your tent, sleeping bag, stuff sack or other gear directly onto the Rack platform and pull the compression straps tight to secure the load up against the bottom of your saddle. Our recommended stuff sack is the Terrapin Drybag by Revelate Designs. The Terrapin is 3d welded, offers a tapered shape that fits the rack platform perfectly and includes an air purge valve for easy compression.
