How do these bags attach to the rack? Can they be attached separately, or only as a pair?

It has a strap & plastic clip on the front that attaches to the front of the rack. The. two smaller strap/clips that go around the rack supports connected to the rear tire

I bought these primarily due to the logo. I do not believe they can attached separately. They lay on top of the rack like saddle bags. There is a cut out handle in the center that allows me to pull them off and carry them .

These bags are only attached as a pair. The middle part of the bag rests on top of the rack and the bags hang from the sides.

They are connected permanently at the top and can not be used individually. Excellent quality.

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.

I don't know your specific bike. You should need nothing else to mount them to your bike. I personally would recommend getting mounting brackets. This would assure bags and bike be protected from rubbing against each other.

Bags do not fold flat because of hard plastic that serves as base for each compartment. They stay pretty much like in the picture, which (if you don't mind) is kind of bulky. The middle section is for mounting and securing the panniers on the rack. There are a couple of clip on straps, one on each side, that secure them to the back tire. Hope this answers your question.

Yes, they are two separate bags. Their carrying handles can be combined to make carrying both off the bike easier, however.

There is a small strap on top to be able to carry by hand. I don't think there is a way to attach a larger strap to carry on your shoulder.I would also say that although the bags detach from the rack quite easily, I think think they are very awkward to use as a carry bag. The hooks are always sticking out and will probably be quite annoying. I am really happy with the bags, but I don't remove them from the bike to often.

I've never bothered to detach it as a carried bag, but it's very sturdy and would easily work as you describe. Might be tough to set it down without the panniers flapped out to the side or squashed underneath depending on what you have inside. Because if the velcro strap connection to the rack, it's not the most convenient for removing and re attaching is all.

There is a separating panel that can be removed. Then there are the two hoops at the top. If you remove those you won't have anything to wrap the bag around and the bag would be visible with the top on.

You can put one on top of the other, but these are soft sided cargo bags - they wont stay up on there own.

The bags are definitely separate. I have used them every day for several years and think they are the best small garbage bags on the market.

As I recall, they do have a means of attaching to a rack at the bottom - but can't recall and don't have easy access to check. As a practical matter I am not sure it is critical as the panniers stay down when loaded and roll up when empty. I would not recommend this setup for rough terrain mountain biking, but highly recommend it for road or trails. I used it for 187 mile ride on the C&O; Canal Towpath, which is essentially a long dirt road.

The bags cannot be separated. The middle section is 6 inches wide. There are plastic inserts that you have to install in the panniers to make them stay ridgid. They do lie flat if you don't install these, but they may be prone to getting caught in the spokes. You could probably fashion some type of backboard on your rack to prevent that.

Couplers are helpful if you plan to switch out tips. But no, the bags can be used perfectly without couplers!

Roll each bag separately. Fold one in half with the elastic straps at the end away from you. Start rolling the bag as tightly as possible toward the elastic end. While holding the roll, stretch each elastic band over the rolled bag. Repeat this process for the second bag. I have not found an efficient way to roll the bags together.

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 :-)

There are two individual bags. Each bag is mounted separately. You can use one or both. They also fold up flat if you don't have anything in them which is also a nice feature. I really like them.
