Rear rack is designed to fit bikes with disc brakes. Top plate is ideal for rack packs and conventional bags, whilst also acting as a mudguard. Lightweight alloy construction with 8mm oversize tubing. Universal telescopic legs for easy fitting. Supplied with extended fittings for bikes with small frames. Capacity 25kg. Box Contains 1 x disc brake carrier Review: Light, cheap and strong (don't tell KB) - Really please with the design and quality of this rack, even the fasteners supplied with it have a good surface finish and use nylock nuts. The rack itself has a cool shape to it (not a critical consideration but we want our bikes to look good if we can don't we). The fitting kit includes 2 lengths of tie bar and spacers to push the lower mounts out around the brake caliper which gives plenty of clearance. The whole thing was easy to fit and even has a removable bracket to take a rear light or reflector. Time will tell on the matt black surface finish but so far so good. I added a strip of grip tape down the centre of the top plate to help keep my bag in place and I added some frame protector tape to the underside to help protect from stones pinging off. A quality product at a bargain price. The only small negative I can think of is that the rack load bed is pretty thin (but light) so if you push hard on it in the right place you could warp it if you were clumsy (so maybe KB was right all along). Review: Excellent & fitted in under 10 minutes. - I fitted this to an Avenir road bike without disc brakes and by carefully pulling the legs in and using the plastic spacer OUTSIDE the leg rather than between the leg and the frame drop-out, it fits perfectly. (YOU COULD just buy shorter screws but the standard bottle cage ones are too short by about 4 mm and not strong enough). Unusually it came 90% assembled. It has an unusual design - only two struts. My other RSP (Raleigh Special Products, which is the Aevenir / Raleigh accessories brand), carrier has three, but these are solid aluminium so heavier - the AMD 224 has hollow tubing. I hope the rear, curved strut is enough to keep panniers out of the rear wheel on a bike with 70C wheels, I think it will but time will tell. Rated 25KG, that's enough, maybe would apply especially to bikes WITH disc brakes where effectively you are using longer bolts - but NOTE it is NO GOOD for fitting a child seat and the blurb says this, don't try. When riding, you don't notice it is there. Splash-guard means no need for an extra mudguard which on some frames there would not be rom for. The carrier doesn't come with the 2 bolts needed for the top end, but most bikes with brazed-on threaded lugs come with these. If not, they are easy enough to buy. If your bike doesn't have the lugs, you need a couple of alloy plastic-coated strips with screw holes in the ends which wrap around the top of the rear stays. These are known as CUPS in bike shops. ONE complaint - the packaging was AWFUL, basically it was in 2 plastic bags ! The screws etc. were firmly attached OK but the seller was lucky that the actual frame wasn't damaged in transit, no protection !! ## Features - Raleigh Avenir disc brake carrier - Rear rack is designed to fit bikes with disc brakes - Top plate is ideal for rack packs and conventional bags, whilst also acting as a mudguard - Lightweight alloy construction with 8mm oversize tubing - Universal telescopic legs for easy fitting ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004XVPD1I | | Best Sellers Rank | 445,544 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) 917 in Cycling Baskets | | Brand | Avenir Designed by Raleigh | | Brand Name | Avenir Designed by Raleigh | | Colour | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 102 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05023857351793 | | Item Weight | 50 Grams | | Item weight | 50 Grams | | Load Capacity | 25 kg | | Load capacity | 25 kg | | Manufacturer | Avenir | | Material | Alloy | | Material Type | Alloy | | Mount Type | Rear Seat Mount | | Mounting type | Rear Seat Mount | | Orientation | Rear | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Colour:** Black - **Brand:** Avenir Designed by Raleigh - **Material:** Alloy - **Item weight:** 50 Grams - **Mounting type:** Rear Seat Mount ## Images ![Avenir AMD224 Disc Brake Carrier - Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41aK4GVPxkL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this also fit on bikes with Alloy V Brakes?** A: It is wider than the carriers manufactured for bikes without disk brakes. If fits my 2015 Carrera Vulcan with hydraulic brakes perfectly. It may be a bit wider but it does come with plastic spacers so you could leave them out or cut them down but you would then need shorter bolts. **Q: Would this fit small 20" wheel size folding electrical bike with protruding disk brakes?** A: No. I doubt it !! It won’t go down low enough on its ‘legs’, even at the lowest setting of the three. It will slope forwards alarmingly. It’s designed for large-ish road bike frames with 700C or 27” or 28” wheels. Frame size over 20”/51 cm is best. It goes on a 49.5 cm / 19.5” Cross frame with 700C wheels (28” incl tyres). But it slopes forwards a bit. You may have to get one from your bike’s manufacturer. I had this prob with a folding USA 26” wheel, 19” frame ATB (Dahon), only their carrier fits. I ended up with a Canadian one that just clamps to the seat upright & has no ‘legs’. **Q: Would this fit a Correra crossfire ebike please ?** A: Yes it does, I have that bike and was concerned, but it comes with longer brackets that fit perfectly, so that the top is flat. Good quality too **Q: Is this compatible with the raleigh polka tosca new looxs pannier bag does anyone know please?** A: I don't know the bag your referring to, but they are usually made to a standard size. This carrier is rated at 25KG and also acts as an effective mudguard. I would advise using spring washers on the bolts or they can work loose with vibration. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Light, cheap and strong (don't tell KB) *by S***T on 23 November 2023* Really please with the design and quality of this rack, even the fasteners supplied with it have a good surface finish and use nylock nuts.

The legs are telescopic so you just slide them out to fit the size of wheel and replace the screw. Only trouble I had was that the screw was fiddly to get back in place. Could have done with a slightly bigger hole on the outer leg so it is easier to find the screw thread on tje inner leg. Comes with two pairs of attachments which fit to the seat stay. The pair that came attached to the rack were far too short. The longer pair provided the correct fit - not sure why they don't just supply one long pair as they are very adjustable. Like the fact that the rack also acts as a kind of mudguard. Overall a decent, well made rack. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/55101811-avenir-amd224-disc-brake-carrier-black](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/55101811-avenir-amd224-disc-brake-carrier-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
