Will pannier bungee hooks attach to this rack?

Yes. I have saddle bags on my rack but pannier bungee hooks will attach to this rack.

You should be able to attach the bungee to the lower horizontal tube on the rack.

It might. The hooks on the straps are metal with a little coating. I didn't want to take a chance so I wrapped mine with the moleskin that is used for blisters. Other than that the rack has been great!

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

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

Yes. I mounted them to a plywood board. I had trouble with the loops breaking off the rack, however, making it almost useless.

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. i used the small ones for front panniers and they need to separate for the front rack which rides lower.

In my opinion, the way the hooks are fabricated and padded, they will fit almost any set of bars. At least all common cruisers,etc. Any handlers exotic enough that they don't fit probably are on a bike not going to carry a basket anyway. The hooks can be slightly bent and adapted as needed.

Thank you for the inquiry. Our customers are always sending us pictures of what they carry on our racks. Ranging from musical instruments to fishing gear. So, the answer is probably yes! You may need to get a little creative with the bungee strapping system. Regards, Bike Balance

Hi Daniel - these racks are designed to be use with most panniers. If the panniers will attach to a typical rack rail, and not a proprietary system, then most likely they will be compatible. Thanks!

There are no straps that come with the rack. Technically, you don't need them, as the adjustable stabilizer bars work well. That said, I use about four bungee straps with the four bikes just in case.

I do not know if it will fit your bike, but I have a unique 29" wheel bike, and the rack is very adaptable/adjustable. The only thing I needed to attach the rack to my bike was 2 of the rubber lined electrical conduit loops/clamps that can be purchased at any home improvement store ($1.89 for both clamps). The rack is very well built/designed, and holds my Pannier bags securely and withstand a lot of weight (have had over 50 lbs in my bags).

Yes. Buy yourself an adjustable lug wrench and you will save yourself a lot of time installing the rack.

The pannier bags (Topeak) have a bungie/hook that 'hooks to the rack on either side of the axle where the secondary supports curl away from the main support tube. This keeps them from sliding back or forth - though hook doesn't go around the tubes - I beliave the tube diameter to be less than 1/2 inch.

Yes. Although with the bikes in the rack it may be hard to reach the footswitch that allows that.

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.

This bag attaches via velcro straps on the bottom of the bag. If there are grooves along the side of the rack, it'll attach.
