Is the Topeak rack required for the Topeak basket or will it work with most racks

To use the slide and lock on the bottom of the box it's best to use a Topeak rack, but if using a different brand rack you would have to work out how to attach and secure it.

The Topeak Rack 2 is required for this tote. The bottom of the tote slides into a channel that is engineer on the top of the rack. You slide the tote in the channel and then it is secured by a yellow latch on the seat side of the rack.

Yes, but I'd say top rack only. They aren't heavy plastic...pretty lightweight.

Yes, the rack you are using would likely be fine. The mounting hardware is flexible enough to accommodate just about any sort of rack. The Topeak rack you have has a weight rating of 40 pounds which will be you main limitation. Make sure you keep that in mind when loading the baskets. Generally though, a regular steel rack does not have a weight rating much higher than that.

I do not know the particulars of your bike, but most bikes have the same mounting holes. This topeak is for diskbrakes. If you do not have disk brakes, you have to order the other style. There are some good videos on youtube showing the mounting

Yes - but it is not wide enough for most racks. It does come with the mounting hardware. For most standard racks you will need additional hardware.

I'm sorry, I misread your question. The basket doesn't have a top. The upper support is shaped like a "U". The basket just slides on tracks and can be removed if you need.

It depends on the shape of your racks, if they are round yes if not you will need an universal adapter

I think you would have to purchase a rear bicycle rack and find out is the rack will accommodate this basket. I have a Jamis Commuter and the basket does not fit properly on the rack that came with the bike.

It's not worth buying this bag unless you have the Topeak rack. That being said... this bag with the Topeak rack is awesome!

Yes I think it will. The Topeak Exploer Tubular Rack has 2 holes on the sides and 1 hole in the center. Almost similar to the light rack mount for Planet bike lights. It fit most of my rack fine. This bracket should be able to fit most rack. You can always mount it sideways or upside down. It might just work. You can always email the seller for the return policy before you buy it just in case it does not fit.

I'm not sure. I am a customer, not a representative of Amazon or the rack manufacturer. Looking at a Bike Friday picture online, it appears that the universal fit of the lower attach point on this rack should work fine, but the upper attach arms need to be much longer for a Bike Friday installation. You would definitely need to buy longer upper attach arms to make it work as it appears in the picture.

Yes you could , and use two brackets on the top of the rear rack. You might lose some of the stability of the baskets by not using the lower bracket that connects to the frame. It was easy to connect to the rack though. But and a bolt tighten to a P shaped clamp. I use them every day. Open up easy and I added a shot if WD-40 to the little hinge that holds the basket closed when not in use and was a big help. Take care, John

No, it's a specific system and you will need the topeak rack specifically made for the seat for it to work.

I would think so, the bottom part of this basket came with two long/flat attachments. But I already had something like this installed: Topeak Explorer Bike Rack

Yes just adjust the top rack to length you need, drill new holes and your all set

Overall it is very easy to install. There are two minor challenges. First, for compatibility with most racks, you will need to pry off the basket's attachment device. I'm not especially strong, and was able to do that fairly quickly with a screwdriver. Second, you will need to find an alternative means of attachment to your rack. I used four zip ties from Home Depot. If you have zip ties and a screwdriver at hand, it is probably a five minute job -- it was for me.
