>> I asked my LBS about putting a rear cargo rack on my new Yukon MTB.

My wife and I have had Blackburn Mtn Bike Racks on our Specialized Hardrock Mtn
Bikes for several years. We even, at times, mount junior Arkel panniers to
carry our stuff.

The racks are extremely sturdy, do not rattle, and, IMHO, would interfere only
with the hardest core type of mtn biking. I take my mtn bike on trails and
such with absolutely no problem.

Assuming you have the necessary braze-ons, etc., I think your dealer is
off-base.

Good luck.
