Can these be used with suspended racks? Ie there are no side supports to hold up rack so I'm unsure how to keep the bag from interfering w/ wheel

yes it will interfere with the wheel you may possibly put a sturdy box in the bags to keep the bag from collapsing into the wheel

I do not believe that these panniers are designed for that type of rack. The bags will probably rub against the spokes, which would not be good.

I don't think it would would work very well. The bags have bungee straps/hooks on the back side of the bags that would interfere with the wheel. You could take those off, but I think the bags would then rub the wheels.

You're probably good to go with a suspended rack IF you have a fender over your rear wheel. The bike frame plus the fender mounts will likely keep this bag away from your spokes.

I have three of these racks, all of them supporting heavy "beach cuisers" in vertical positions. I would suggest mounting the rack at a height that allows the bike to rest on the rear tire, thereby taking some of the weight off the rack. This has kept a lot of stress off the rack(wall) as well as the front wheel. I've not had any visible damage to any of my front wheels.

Should not be a problem, the racks can attach at different heights to the supports. I'd have to check, but the increments are about 1 inch I believe. You should be good.

It should be no problem, these baskets are designed to work with a wide variety of racks. The brackets that hold the baskets on are pretty versitile, and you could also get pipe clamps or some other type or bracket if your rack is an odd size. Should work just fine.

Possibly. The rack is made to hold 2 bikes the wheel holders are adjustable but I don't know for sure if you could get them exactly side by side for the front wheels.

The bike tires fit down inside the rack at the bottom, holding the bikes somewhat, but they still flop a little. There is a small vertical support on the left side, but it doesn't offer that much support. What really works is that I use bungee cords to secure the bikes to the spare tire holder, which works because I moved the spare to the back of my truck.

You need the rack as well as side bars. Without these the bags will be unstable for sure.

Yes you can as these clip on the sides and do not cover the top of the rack. I used these with an IBERA rack and IBERA Trunk and it worked great. BTW these are really nice and are not too over sized. Worked great for an over night trip. Each are separate so you can use one or both. They have a two handle straps that can be joined to carry them. Hope this helps!

These are pretty big stands. I'm not sure of a bag solution. I put them on top of my old stand kit bag and just use the handles to secure them. If you find another bag solution please share :-)

I dont believe so, not through amazon anyways. If you're having issues with the stability or duability of your rack, dont worry i suffered the same issues. It turns out i didnt assemble it as tight as possible. Turning it on its side and pushing it in will allow it to stay better:) hope i helped

I suspect the actual rack frame may hold that amount of weight but the loop frames where the tires sit are not that sturdy so I would be reluctant to carry that much especially as the rack will bounce a bit while driving. I think there are other options. Good luck.

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

Hi - I have this clothing rack - and I have one lower (for tops) and one higher (for pants) etc. The model I have also allows the ends to "pull out" for added space. Super strong. I worked in retailing for many years and would say this is a "professional" quality rack. I use mine in place so I'm not sure about wear and tear on the wheels if I moved it around with this much weight. But it has held up for over 4 years now with zero issues.

i use the attachable side mesh bags...i don't think anything would work on the top handles

There is a vertical support, but doesn't work well. I modified the vertical bar where it would grab the tire. I used some square tube, long bolt and but. Also I use strap to strap the bikes to the rack. Hope that helps.

The rack is strong I think the limit would be balancing on the bike - all that weight in the back or jus on one side if you only use one rack. A heavy grocery bag should not be an issue

The 2 bags cannot be separated. The bags do not fold up. They have stiffeners in them, but still flex and get caught in the spokes way too often. This is mainly because the attachment to the rack is webbing straps that do not put adequate tension. The straps got caught in the spokes and broke on the first use. I would recommend a spring type of attachment. The middle section with the handle is the width of a standard bike rack.
