Do you think I could bungee a bag like this to my bicycle rack for a week long tour? I don't like panniers. Thanks.

Why sure...depends on if you can tie it down well enough. You might end up messing with it a lot.

The bag is definitely durable and will withstand the weather. Caution that the bag is also quite heavy empty. "Heavy" duty is very accurate.

It's pretty big, but I think it would be possible. The bottom is sturdy so I think it would fit okay on the rack. It's definitely a great bag and very waterproof. I've used it camping and rafting.

Depends on the size, my 110L one is pretty huge but I did use it for a 7 week, cross country motorcycle journey. It's great for that!

You could but it might be overkill. Bag is large and unless its a fat tire bike with a large rack I think it's going to mess with your ride

I have the 70L and it just fit on the passenger seat of my 650cc motorcycle, instead of a passenger. No extra width. I suggest you to measure the width of your bicycle rack and determine how it would fit. I did measure before buying since I wanted the 110L but it was too big for my motorcycle, and that's why I ended buying the 70L.

I have a set of bags like this, called tour de france. To fix the bag getting caught in the spokes get thin board made of wood or plastic, cut to size, bolt to the bike rack. Then you wont have to worry about the corners bending in or the tie downs getting caught

Yes, that is true. The bike has a rear rack mounted to it already which is for the battery. Panniers are not an option on this bike. I recommend to my customers who wish to carry items while riding to procure some type of basket that easily hooks onto the handlebar or use a backpack.

I would not carry bikes on this. Get a bike rack to save yourself from headaches.

Depends on your pannier I guess, mine has a hook that catches on the horizontal bottom bar. You can also hook it into the open eyelet thingy just above the bracket but that's more difficult

It is possible to carry it separate from the bike rack because it has a short handle (I think), but it not suitable for full time, long term carry. I usually have it fastened to the bike pannier rack.

It would be really tight and not to safe....But it would fit nicely in one of the side pannier's that unfold out.. the picture shows them zipped up... that would be your best option in my opinion...Great bag hope this helps

Yes you can, be sure to bungee it down. The slot on the back makes it very EZ. Enjoy your bag.

Definitely not, it isn't sturdy enough to stay on your bike rack thingy. Too bad because all of the baskets that will are ugly! Good luck! :)

with a large pannier rear rack pack, i have little trouble hauling around up to 50 lbs of gear or groceries, a smaller pack would probably work for what you want to do as well.I will warn you, unless your 5'10" or taller, this bike might be a little too big for you.

The bag is about 12 inches long and attaches to your bike seat pole with a strap and to the rack by means of 2 more straps. The rack trips are about 1 inch wide. They are attached to the bag about 2 inches from bag ends leaving about 6 inches in the middle. I of course don't know how your Panniers attach. The problem I have with the bag is it's hight! It is about 9 inches high. If your set pole isn't up high enough to leave at least 9 inches below the "bottom" of your seat, you will have trouble attaching it to the seat pole. You could forgo that attaching point and set the bag further back on your rack. the problem there is, if your rack isn't very long the bag will be up against your behind!

I haven't tried that (have an e-bike kit in my basement, but never got roundto installing it). The bag is probably a reasonable size and shape, and sturdyenough. But it gets awkward to wheel it around with a heavy bag of grocerieshigh up on the rack, and the same might apply to putting a heavy battery packthat high up. It's an awesome bag for lightweight stuff like lock, rainpants, lunch(especially because you can unclip it quickly and carry it with the shoulder strap).

Donald, It looks like the center locking clamp will attach with no issue, but the lower hook that is used to stablize the pannier may or may not stay put on the lower part of the rack. Based on the rack image, it looks like most hooks would have an issue so I am not 100% positive if this pannier would work with this rack. If you can get this to work, they have been great and I am going on 3 years without any issues. Tom

My husband has been using this bag for several months without any problems. There are metal clips on the underside of the bag where you can clip it to your bike rack, and that will keep it safe and secure.

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.

Hi ,I have not used the cover with panniers -there is a tie at the bottom and i don't think you'll be able to tie it...I think the panniers would make it too wide , and probably won't work.

You could mount a backrest and a luggage rack at the same time. If you mount a tour pack the back rest would be unnecessary.
