Do you think I could bungee a bag like this to my bicycle rack for a week long tour? I don't like panniers. Thanks.

Why sure...depends on if you can tie it down well enough. You might end up messing with it a lot.

The bag is definitely durable and will withstand the weather. Caution that the bag is also quite heavy empty. "Heavy" duty is very accurate.

It's pretty big, but I think it would be possible. The bottom is sturdy so I think it would fit okay on the rack. It's definitely a great bag and very waterproof. I've used it camping and rafting.

Depends on the size, my 110L one is pretty huge but I did use it for a 7 week, cross country motorcycle journey. It's great for that!

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

I have the 70L and it just fit on the passenger seat of my 650cc motorcycle, instead of a passenger. No extra width. I suggest you to measure the width of your bicycle rack and determine how it would fit. I did measure before buying since I wanted the 110L but it was too big for my motorcycle, and that's why I ended buying the 70L.

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.

I agree with the positive comments on Bushwhacker panniers. I used mine riding the Katy Trail in Missouri last Fall (240 miles - 3 days) they held up well and I had no difficulty getting to my food and gear. I used them on the rear rack of my EZ Sport. Completely satisifed. If they are basically the same size as the Moab panniers as mentioned above, I would certainly go with the Bushwhackers. Dan

My guess: likely not. Two reasons. First, because there are no side supports that would work to keep the pannier from impinging on the spokes. And, second, because of the 25 pound maximum weight limit. Otherwise, a great light-duty rack.

It is possible to carry it separate from the bike rack because it has a short handle (I think), but it not suitable for full time, long term carry. I usually have it fastened to the bike pannier rack.

If you are looking for something like a bike carrier or small rack for totes, I wouldn't be afraid of it. But as the first person said, the further back you go, the less weight you can carry. I have one of these and it is awesome, but I only use it as it was designed. Even though it is on a farm pickup.

Well....yes technically that would work. This is a very tough little rubber bag, very tough. The top closes and is secured by a "male" - "female" connector, blanking on the correct name, like the snaps of a life vest, so you could tie that to a rope or put a bungee cord through it, I guess it might flop around in the wind on your bike, but if you need waterproof, this is it. Happy trails

You could mount a backrest and a luggage rack at the same time. If you mount a tour pack the back rest would be unnecessary.

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.

Yes. It will take a little more effort, but they can go over rails that thick. However, to do that repeatedly may weaken the clips. I leave the left clipped on and use the right pannier to carry stuff when I'm at work.

I haven't tried that (have an e-bike kit in my basement, but never got roundto installing it). The bag is probably a reasonable size and shape, and sturdyenough. But it gets awkward to wheel it around with a heavy bag of grocerieshigh up on the rack, and the same might apply to putting a heavy battery packthat high up. It's an awesome bag for lightweight stuff like lock, rainpants, lunch(especially because you can unclip it quickly and carry it with the shoulder strap).

I believe that it would be. There could be some interference with the velcro straps that hold it on the rack but this would depend on the particular type of panniers. I have actually thought of putting panniers on mine but have not done it yet.

It is a tunnel bag - it is designed to fit OVER the seat. It will likely not work with a rack.

It should work. I like it. I don't have racks or pannier's but it should fit around them. My fits just like the photo. I use it for my road bike. about the same size as you are looking for. It is tight at the wheel base but that is just the strength of the stretch materials they use to close the fabric around the bottom.

Probably not, it's pretty shallow but would depend on what you've got. I suppose a small load and you bungee corded the bag down would work.

There is a small built in carry strap at the top of each bag. You can use it to lift the pannier off the bike rack and then carry. There is no way to attach a shoulder strap unless you jerry rig something.
