is it durable enough to be used on a mountain bike?

GlennI tried it on mine and found that I had to constantly tighten it. The jarring on the single track around where I ride was too much for it. I would not recommend it for true mountain biking on single track.

I have mine on my mountain bike. Works good. Havent used it in the the rain yet. I also use it a my atv holds up and stays in place even on rough trails.

I would say yes. It is very well built. I use it on a mountain bike but mostly ride on the streets.

After it fell of my bike twice while riding on moderately rough pavement, I quit using it.

Yes, dont buy if you will attach it to road bike or mountain bike. I returned mine after my phone damage, does not secure, get the bm works

I put up 3 mountain bikes at one time, one adult (male) and two teens' (female). It was not an easy task because the girls' bikes had a lower frame. I traveled about 20 miles (freeway speed) each way and the rack held up pretty good. The rack is for the 2006 Honda CRV.

Yes I used it with several different types of bikes, road bikes, and heavy downhill bikes with out an issue. The only problem I had was that some of the mountain bike frames were to narrow for the head to get through and get grip on.

Yes, it can be; keep in mind that you do have three wheels, so you don't want to take this everywhere you can take a mountain bike. The only other thing I would recommend would be possibly upgrading the tires, if you plan on going through rougher terrain.

If you can mount them well they should hold up and they are very bright for what they are. I used them on a KLR 650 and have wrecked the bike several times. I ride the bike on the street and on mountain trails. The housings are durable and have given me no problems. The mounts are not the best and I had to buy bolts to make them fit.

Katie,I am not quite sure what you are asking, but I did use this on one of my existing road bikes. It was a fairly simple process, if you have the right tools. I have not had any problem with the cassette since my purchase. Now, whether or not this could be used on a mountain bike I don't see why it couldn't. The main distinction between road and mountain bike are in the crank (what your pedals fit to ). Mountain bike cranks tend to be much smaller. Let me know if this clears things up for you.

They would work, but most mountain bikes use disk brakes. These are more appropriate for ordinary street use.

I use it mt biking and wrapped a rubber strip around the handlebars to fatten it up a bit. It does not move unless I crash. :)

It has done very well for us on both pavement and some area trails. No major mountain biking around here though so I'm not sure about that kind of performance. Hope that helps!

Sure. Great use because it won't move around like is does when I crash my mountain bike.

I don't mountain bike. Sorry. I really like my Topeak bag on my road bikes.

depending on how the bike gets ridden the pedals are fine. most parts don't hold up under abuse. mine are on a cruiser and will last quite awhile. take care of your bike.

So far I've had no problems with its durability. It hasn't broken and seems very strong. The only possible downside is that it shakes a bit during high intensity activity (I use mine for freerunning and parkour). Not really anything you can do about that though from what I can see.

Its a good quality bag. I have mine strapped to my mountain bike and that has taken a lot of abuse. Recommend.

Yes, they can be installed on mountain bikes. I think it'll be easier for them to be installed on mountain bikes compared to road bikes.

If the diameter of the bar fits the stem on your bike it will work great for touring. I don't know that it is tested for the kind of abuse that a true mountain bike bar but from a touring use I love this setup.
