    First question would be whether your bike has eyelets/mount points for a rack? If so, then there are plenty of options for you, but if not you may need to use a brand that has a kit to adapt your QR skewer. You'd need (ideally) eyelets on the rear stays near the dropouts, and another pair near the top of the chain stays

    What are eyelets, my bike is a mountain bike that's about 17 yrs old.

    Why don't you use the internet to check prices and visit/phone local shops to compare prices?

    Eyelets are points on your frame to attach a Rack to.

    Go to a Bike Shop and ask them, if you cannot work it out for yourself, if this bike will take a rear rack?

    Ok i think I know what eyelets are now. I find bike shops annoying, it's so hard to get someone to talk to in them.

    I have the eyelets, threaded and all, do the racks come with screws?

    I'm still thinking buy in a shop as they easier to return if I've any hassle, can't imagine you'd save more then 10 euro buying online compared to in a shop?

    There's only one way to solve that conundrum.

    went to shop local one thought he here ages give him business, but they weren't amazing help, young guy looked like he was new was helping me. Didn't know were racks were, not good start.
    Then same one is 10 euro cheaper in cycle super store, also 5mins from me, well that's only, wonder is it same in the store usually?
