In a carrier rack adapter kit for adapting a luggage carrier rack of a bicycle, a fastening bolt is extending via a first passageway through an auxiliary luggage carrier structure, via a second passageway through a first rod clamping head, and via a third passageway through a second rod clamping head. In reaction to a tightening action on the fastening bolt, shear forces along first and second inclined outer surface portions of the first and second rod clamping heads are urging the rod clamping heads to move towards one another. The carrier rack adapter kit allows for universal, easy and quick mounting of an auxiliary luggage carrier structure above luggage carrier racks of various configurations and various dimensions.

1. A carrier rack adapter kit for adapting a luggage carrier rack of a bicycle, said carrier rack adapter kit comprising: an auxiliary luggage carrier structure for being mounted above the luggage carrier rack;at least one rod clamping assembly for clamping a rod of the luggage carrier rack, said rod clamping assembly comprising a first rod clamping head and a second rod clamping head, comprising a first rod clamping outer surface portion and a second rod clamping outer surface portion, respectively, said rod clamping assembly being configured for clamping said rod in-between the first rod clamping outer surface portion and the second rod clamping outer surface portion; andat least one fastening bolt having a longitudinal bolt direction; wherein, in assembled condition of the carrier rack adapter kit:the fastening bolt is holding the auxiliary luggage carrier structure and the rod clamping assembly together in such manner that: the first rod clamping head is held at least partly in-between the auxiliary luggage carrier structure and the second rod clamping head;the fastening bolt is extending via a first passageway through the auxiliary luggage carrier structure, via a second passageway through the first rod clamping head, and via a third passageway through the second rod clamping head, wherein (i) the second passageway allows for relative movement between the fastening bolt and the first rod clamping head in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal bolt direction, and/or (ii) the third passageway allows for relative movement between the fastening bolt and the second rod clamping head in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal bolt direction; andthe first rod clamping head and the second rod clamping head further comprise a first inclined outer surface portion and a second inclined outer surface portion, respectively, which are facing one another, and which are having respective inclinations relative to a reference plane which is perpendicular to the longitudinal bolt direction, whereby, in reaction to a tightening action on the fastening bolt, shear forces along said first inclined outer surface portion and said second inclined outer surface portion are urging the first rod clamping head and the second rod clamping head to move relative to one another in an inclined direction relative to said reference plane, thereby urging the first rod clamping outer surface portion of the first rod clamping head and the second rod clamping outer surface portion of the second rod clamping head to perform a first relative movement towards one another. 2. The carrier rack adapter kit according to claim 1, wherein, in said assembled condition, for at least one single such rod clamping assembly one and only one of such a fastening bolt is holding the auxiliary luggage carrier structure and the rod clamping assembly together in the said manner. 3. The carrier rack adapter kit according to claim 1, wherein, in said assembled condition, the first passageway through the auxiliary luggage carrier structure allows for a second relative movement between the fastening bolt and the auxiliary luggage carrier structure in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal bolt direction. 4. The carrier rack adapter kit according to claim 1, further comprising at least one spacer for placement, in said assembled condition, in-between the auxiliary luggage carrier structure and the rod clamping assembly. 5. The carrier rack adapter kit according to claim 4, wherein the spacer, as seen in said assembled condition in a view along the longitudinal bolt direction, has a U-shaped form, the space in-between the two free ends of the two legs of the U-shaped form allowing the fastening bolt to pass therebetween in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal bolt direction.
