 Nice bag. October 26, 2008
Nice bag but much smaller than pictured. I love the rail on the beam action that makes this go well with this bag.
 So Far, So Good October 14, 2008
I am a newer cyclist, and had been looking for a rack/pannier combination that would allow me to run local errands by bike. My local bike shop suggested that I consider a trunk bag and recommended the Topeak products. I bought the Explorer rack, but they didn't have a roomy enough Topeak bag at the LBS. I found this one on Amazon and I'm glad I did.
It has the best of everything -- the bag itself is very roomy, with room to expand at the top, and has fold down panniers on the sides. I haven't used the panniers yet because the bag is so roomy. It easily holds a jacket, snacks, repair kit, first aid kit, all the things I need when I take my kids on rides. If it slows me down, I'm not aware of it. I don't feel the extra weight at all.
So far I couldn't be happier with my purchases.
Trunk Bag October 5, 2008
Excellently built and designed. Plenty of compartments and the main compartment is expandable. Will even hold an extra water bottle in vertical position.
Since it's made for its own rack system it was necessary to use a strip of sticky backed, non skid carpet foam between my regular rack and this bag to hold it securely in place. This is an easy fix.
Terrific Bike Bag! September 14, 2008
My wife and I shared this one bag on a 50-mile ride in threatening weather, so we packed light rain jackets, pile jackets, long sport pants, gloves, our lunch, first aid kit, and a couple extra water bottles in it.
I was surprised that it all easily fit.
The back was stable and tight enough that it was easy to forget it was there.
The main compartment and panniers are very easily accessible. I love the way you can easily slide it on and off (if you have the compatible Topeak rack).
The only thing I can think of that I would change is to add a small outside pocket for cell phone, wallet, sunscreen, etc. I used the thin top compartment for this, and it worked OK, but wasn't as easily accessible as I would have liked.
Great deal at Amazon, and with free shipping it arrived in two days.
very nice for everyday biking August 17, 2008
great for riding to work, going to the grocery, everyday cycling.
before you buy, make sure your rack is compatible though.
