Hi,

Have started work as a pizza delivery cyclist and the rack they've attached to my frame isn't ideal;. It's only attached to the down tube and when I hit a bump the whole thing wobbles. So am looking to sort out a replacement. Only problem is I don't have attachment points for a bike rack. My bike is a Cube road bike. The thing they've clamped on to the frame is really annoying me, doesn't look right so the replacement would have to be quick release or similar. 

Thanks for any advice.

Ideally you'd have the 4 points for a good connection but it looks like you could get something that attaches to the seat stays as well as the downtube.

Thanks, that looks like it'd be suitable. It's quick release as well so won't have a clamp as a permanent feature.

This would have been ideal: https://www.sigmasports.com/item/Specialized/Pizza-Pannier-Rack/DSST

Except it probably won't fit the forks on your road bike.

I use this rack on my carbon road bike: https://www.blackburndesign.com/p/ex-1-disc-read-bike-rack/3501700002000000...

Can be fitted without any mounts - if you don't have any on the seat stays, then swap the seat post clamp for one with rack mounts.

Bolt/zip tie a bit of plywood on it and you'll be fine.
