I cannot leave any bag attached to my bike at any time. I need something that attaches and detaches quickly and easily. Will this work?

Definately not; I got one that i really like that was better at SportsAuthority for $50. GOOD zippers (the M-Wave has WEAK zippers). Spring cord on the sides for quick attachment to the bike rack.

as long as you don't overload it as it is quite big and gets heavy fast. but depending on your personal strength it does come off the bike easy. (assuming its empty or in weight range)

The top section come off very easily. The two lower sections are a bit more complicated. Unsecuring them from the carrier involves unlatching three buckles, which are not conveniently located. It's not all that hard, but putting it back on the bike more time consuming. You could maybe use the whole thing unsecured, but I would be hesitant. The top part can hold quite a lot. If you were commuting to (let's say) work, most everything you need could be kept in the top section, and very quickly detached and carried in.

No good place to hang bags. And battery and bike weight prolly kills benefit long distance. I use my e bike to get to park that i run at so if i cant make the ride back uphill im confident ill get home.

Unfortunately No. It is a single zipper that is not close to any other zippers. I've actually been looking for a way to at least secure the bag to the bike with a cable so the bag doesn't walk off.

I sometimes go for a run in the park after riding my bike. I use a cable lock fed thru my tire rim to secure the bike and rack to it. Doing the same to just the rack should work for your purposes. I hope this info helps, good luck! :)

mine was gone after a few months - fell out somewhere, and i only go on fairly smooth city roads.I had previously used a similar product that held the spray on with velcro wraps (like a burrito) and had good results for many years, until the bike (and spray) was stolen. Im now back to using the velcro version again.

Any rack will do... These are the best! The only thing to keep in mind is that they need to hook onto something at the bottom of the rack where the wheel and frame meet. I angle the quick release lever at a 90 degree angle so that I can use this.... Or i use the triangle that the rack makes when it meets the bike frame.Hope that answers it.... AND GO FOR IT! these are the easiest bags i've ever used.

Yes, just cheecked, that's what I have, but I wouldn't recommend it. It's a tight fit, but my biggest issue with this product is that it's not very secure. I have actually taken it off my bike and currently use Panier bags on the back and carry a rickshaw bag... LOVE!

Yes... It just detaches from the hardware attached to the handlebars. Just use one of the bike cable locks if you are concerned.Butch

There are four quick disconnect connectors that attach to straps that form a x pattern under the seat. The straps remain attached to the bike when you disconnect the bag.

I don't thing so l buckling and unbuckling a belt would. . of course there are to buckles on ech side and the claw hooks with bungycords ujnder the sedse to hold them down and close the sides of the bike. cook and unhook too . me I use small suitcase locks to lock the main compartments . and just leave them on my bike. and hope no one will take the time to steal them. so fare no one has in all the years I have used these kind of bags . hope I was helpful keith

I don't have a mountain bike but I follow a lot and my bike drops a lot and I have never had a problem with the bags coming off. However if you stuff it too much the velcro does not stay closed when you put the flap down. Otherwise I love it. Hope this helps.

Well....yes technically that would work. This is a very tough little rubber bag, very tough. The top closes and is secured by a "male" - "female" connector, blanking on the correct name, like the snaps of a life vest, so you could tie that to a rope or put a bungee cord through it, I guess it might flop around in the wind on your bike, but if you need waterproof, this is it. Happy trails

Yes, the velcro will be doubled over (hooks on fuzz) but you should be able to still get it all under the cables and then the weight of whatever's inside the bag won't affect the cables. The bike I use this on has the cables under the top tube and the are between the bag and the frame but I haven't had issue. On the seat tube I did what you will have to do, run the velcro between the cable and the frame. If you're adding/removing this daily I could see it being a hassle, if it's a one time deal I wouldn't worry too much about it. If the cable is in a tube/guide/sheath then I wouldn't even give it a second thought either way.

This rack is pretty secure as long as you tighten it properly. I've loaded the bag with bottled water and lunch and have had no issues with it loosening up during the ride. I've also attached my beast of a U-lock (Kryptonite's Fugetaboutit) to the rack, and it has remained in place. I love this rack and highly recommend it.

It does have a quick release however the case is quite cumbersome, fine for just hopping off the bike (to pop into a shop) but not ideal for carrying around all day. I believe it also has a screw to lock it in place more securely however I have not needed to use that (even at naughty speeds).

Likely, but consider that bag will be above the bike's center of gravity, so better secure contents against side to side motion and or put really light fluffy stuff in there. Ken

I would think that paint/metal rub from is a possibility as with any "loose" item on a bike. The Velcro is industrial strength as it takes both hands to remove, so the bag itself is going nowhere once attached. I personally would err on the side of caution and remove the bag for anything other than a short/in-town trip.
