I only have the trunk bag but it has its own slide mount right in the middle of the rack, HD Ibera touring rack for discs, and there is room on side of rack for additional side bags, waiting on special on Ortliebs at Western bike works, saw pair for about $130+ for pr, Amazons vendors more expensive.

Most definitely. This product requires a rack over the rear wheel in order to have a point for attachment. Further, you will need to make sure that it has good points for attachment of the bags on the side. I personally use the topeak MTX tubular rack with spring (the spring arm will fit through the holes under the top bag to help secure it). You can get a beam rack with tubes to support the panniers, but those have weight limitations to them, and if you get this sort of bag, you probably want to carry a lot of stuff.

yes. i used the small ones for front panniers and they need to separate for the front rack which rides lower.

I am 99% sure; no. It is a Topeak product and must be used with a Topeak bike rack. I ordered this bike rack: Topeak Explorer Bike Rack, from Amazon, but I found a better price on the bag at Brands in N.Y. : http://brandscycle.com/ and don't forget to Google for a Brands coupon. I like the bag and the rack. Just make sure the bag meets your size requirements. I did not want paniers, but I wanted a bag big enough to do an overnight trip. This bag, with its expandable top, will do the job, as long as I do not try to take too much stuff.

It is impossible to answer that without knowing the make & model of your car with the rear spoiler. You can check the fit list o Allen's website for an answer. in any case, I would avoid this carrier. It is flimsy feeling and has no lateral stability. I won't trust it to carry any of my bikes.

Hi Skot,Any of our carriers are suitable for use with any bicycle frame composition. Nearly every carrier will make contact with the bike frame in one way or another, and the chances you would be able to over tighten the bike to the carrier and potentially cause damage to the frame are slim to none. We would just recommend that you be mindful not to crank down on any of the straps or securing features, which would be the same for any frame type or finish.

im not sure if the seymour DLX panniers can be used on your front rack, i know that the seymour LX which isnt much smaller fits on the front really well. i think its mostly a matter of your rack size

I have axiom panniers and they hook on just fine. You won't find a better rack if you don't have the eyelets on your frame. Great choice for newer road bikes.

Judging from the online photos of said bicycle(you claimed to own) I notice your model bike hereby lacks the rear mounting bolts of my bicycle-which is how my Planet Bike Eco rear rack is connected.You might want to ask an expert bikeperson if such a part is compatible with your bicycle in spite of said absentee feature!Aso,when I looked for a rear bike rack I sought out the highest maximum weight compacity possible and compatible/durable baskets to outfit it with!I hope this information was helpful!

I don't think so. The pannier are provided of adjustable locks in the back so basically they adapt to the different size and kind of racks available in the market

Yes you can, however the rack moves around a lot. It's safe, but if I were to buy another rack, it would be from 1up USA bike rack. I barrowed one, best rack I have ever used.

They are designed to slide and lock into Topeak racks, which have a slot built in to accept the bags. Long story short, unless Novara built the same slots into their racks, you will be frustrated with these panniers without the Topeak rack. Now, you might be able to strap them on somehow, but they're built without the straps that other bags would have.

I own these panniers. I would think you could use a trunk bag, especially if panniers are not stuffed full. If filled to capacity, the top "puffy" area sticks above the rack by 3-4 inches. It has three attachment points per pannier also, so depending upon your trunk attachments, it could work out.

Donald,It looks like the center locking clamp will attach with no issue, but the lower hook that is used to stablize the pannier may or may not stay put on the lower part of the rack. Based on the rack image, it looks like most hooks would have an issue so I am not 100% positive if this pannier would work with this rack. If you can get this to work, they have been great and I am going on 3 years without any issues.Tom

Right now I have this bag/trunk on it: http://www.bicyclepaper.com/articles/170-Surf-to-Summit-Mammoth-Rack-Pack

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.

Honestly, not sure. I bought this along with the Ibera rack, and went with this brand because of the quick release panniers. Have contacted customer service twice (seller, Bikepac), and had both questions/issues answered very promptly. I would ask them about compatibility, sorry I can't answer better than that.
