Can this rack be used with panniers (pannier bag)?

By "pannier bag", I assume you're referring to the type that drapes over the rack, with one bag hanging over each side. Correct?

Not sure, but I'd say probably not, as it does not have any vertical supports connecting the rack itself to the rear wheel axle, as some do. Without those supports, it appears the pannier bag, especially when loaded, could easily sag inward into the spokes of the wheel behind the rear frame member of the bike. Aside from that, the rack would be strong enough, it just doesn't have the protection the vertical supports would otherwise provide to keep the bottom of the bags out of the spokes. I don't know anything about panniers except what I can see on the Amazon listings, so I don't know if they have some sort of internal structure that keeps the bags apart without the aid of a prop from a rack support, but I can't see this being the case. If they do, then this rack would do fine with them, but, like I say, I don't know about that part of it; sorry.

My guess: likely not. Two reasons. First, because there are no side supports that would work to keep the pannier from impinging on the spokes. And, second, because of the 25 pound maximum weight limit. Otherwise, a great light-duty rack.

Thanks for the inquiry. This is a universal bag made for sport bike applications but can be used with luggage rack or on rear seat.Best regardsRichard

I don't personally have panniers on my bike. But there seems to be room enough to accommodate them. without cover being too big.

Any standard rack should do(that is made for panniers). You just need to trim or tuck the straps in standard fashion. No problem. I use them on a 26" mountain and a 700c with no problems

Most definitely. This product requires a rack over the rear wheel in order to have a point for attachment. Further, you will need to make sure that it has good points for attachment of the bags on the side. I personally use the topeak MTX tubular rack with spring (the spring arm will fit through the holes under the top bag to help secure it). You can get a beam rack with tubes to support the panniers, but those have weight limitations to them, and if you get this sort of bag, you probably want to carry a lot of stuff.

These panniers fit on all of my racks, and come with adapters for various sizes of tubing. There should be no need to buy a specific type of rack.

Yes, as long as you do not over load your basket. Twenty pounds max.The one pictured is designed for use with a Trunk bag and panniers.Hope that helps.

I can't imagine why it would not fit. The tire racks themselves, are adjustable so it can accommodate a variety of sizes. The only thing we found is, if carrying two bikes, we need to turn the pedals of the bikes opposite each other.

I don't think so. The pannier are provided of adjustable locks in the back so basically they adapt to the different size and kind of racks available in the market

I believe the answer is "yes". I think I saw that on Stack-On's website. The rack didn't work for my compact or sub-compacts.

It worked fine on the rack that came with my bike. My bike rack does have side frames, though. I would think you need some sides to keep the panniers out of your spokes.

Perhaps, but it may be difficult. The rack itself (where the bag sits) is about 5" wide and the space between arms is about 4.5 inches. The arms are pretty flexible-adjustable and may flare out enough to accommodate your frame. I don't think the tire size is a problem because even if it came close to the rack, there is 4.5 inches of clearance at that point. Attaching to the frame might require a bit more effort but I don't see any absolute reason for it not to work.

That is something I do not know clearly about. The best way to figure this out, would be to search this rack's fitting capabilities to your individual bicycle via the internet.

I don't have the panniers, but these are well-designed, so have no fear.I think the Velcro strip on each side is used and a cross Velcro connection between the panniers, too.

I believe so, but it appears the bag would extend out much further than with normal handle bars. I would use a bag that attaches to a rear beam rack or seat post rack instead.

You'd have to have frames attached to either the front or rear to hang the pannier bags from; I've done this on other bikes I've owned. The rack the back battery is on would not be useful (or probably safe) for hanging bags, but if you get the hardware attached properly for hanging bags they should be fine to use.

I don't see why not. Rack is simple on and off. I load rack and two bikes in 5 minutes and remove all upon return.
