Ok, yes maybe redundant, but yet suitable. You must have also wished the MIK top plate would fit the 8s pannier rack without the need for the intermediary rack. But you made it work.Yet another solution. Nice one.
Yes, that would have been nice, but this is really a better option than what Trek stuck us with. I still scratch my head as to why they did this. I own a Vado 4, and it has a normal rack and suspension fork and seat post, and so does its big brother, the Vado 5. Trek should have followed suit, because their current rack offering on the 8s and 9s is very limiting with bag options. Not a smart move considering they are targeting commuters. Thanks for the responses and solution.
Where did you get that nice MIK compatible deck? All I could find is this lame deck.
I tried those links and I did not find the rack deck in question. I must suck at searching the internet too, because I cannot find that rack anywhere - ugh.
This is the only place I could find it, and it says not available

The I one purchased directly from Giant (the link given by @Sefutau2020, does in fact look like the top picture. Look at all of the actual racks in this thread. They look like the top picture.
Thanks offthewall!
Yes, the legs on the Giant rack may be too short — they were for most of us who added the rack to our 8s racks. Previous conversations within this tread allude to our mounting solutions. Hopefully one will work for you.
Thanks Sparky731!
I like it and think it is well done.....and cost effective. Awesome.
Thanks Sefutau!
