Can you fit this on the front pannier rack? My Nashbar small sized front pannier bag doesn't stay on the the back velcro straps are woren out.

Good question. The picture is exactly what it looks like. The width would be fine. The two bottom straps will hold well. However, the strap on the front is designed to wrap around "something" (post) so that it doesn't slide. Also, for use up front, you may have to turn it around so the front of the bag is actually facing the post, then attach it to something. As far as ease getting into the bag, there are two zippers going around the top. They can either meet at the top/front, anywhere around the top, or you can zip one side all of the way around. So getting into the bag will not be an issue, and it holds a lot (define "a lot") besides the phone. It does not stretch, however, so what you put in it has to be fairly exact in size....Good riding............Terry

To my knowledge no.The only area to use a pannier bag is over the battery located above the rear tire.The struts for support of the battery are not designed for the added weight.The manual states that,& I agree.

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.

As long as you have at least two inches of exposed seat post, Topeak should have one that works. They make three different seat post racks to fit bikes of different shapes. They are all identical as far how the bag slips on, they just have different angles so it does not interfere with your back tire. I can't advise you which one to get. Just look at the angle of your seat post in relation to your tire. One of their racks is straight, one bends up, and one bends down.

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.

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.

no this is a bad pannier, dont buy it, the legs on the pannier will not reach the holes on your front fork, well they didnt with mine, they are only aboyt 6" long, I've still got mine in the box and dont know how to fit it. If you want I'll measure the legs in the morning, and you can see if it'll fit your bike. otherwise its Ok and would probably work with the 2.1" tyres. It the fixing to the forks thats a problem

I have the same exact bike and 2 of the 3 straps do fit. the strap around the handle bar post works and the strap to the rear of the horizontal frame post fits. the one closest to that junction does not fit. I have rode twice with this and it seems to stay but does move around a bit. Overall I am happy. I got rid of my underseat bag and just use this one now.

I would think that you need some form of support to keep them off of the exhaust. I have pannier racks on my xr650 and they fit great to them. The saddlebags have a x pattern strap on the back that secures them to the pannier rack.. You may be able to get by around town with them draped over the seat but not off road. Hope this helps.

I am not sure. I didnt try and fit it on the front. I feel like it would be too long for a front rack.

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 added a recently re-released jansport D2 bag to this frame with no problems.

this article is a trunk bag which sits on top of a special rack. I think that there are also panniers which can be fitted to the same rack or other rack models of Ibera. My advice is that you study carefully the web site of Ibera on http://www.ibera.info/ before ordering, so that you are sure to be ordering accessories which fit together, as I understand they are not all compatible.

I only have front to back rails. The bag sits in the middle on a non skid pad. The straps thread through places on the bag kind of criss cross. Then they wrap around the rails and hook together. I also bought extra straps since I didn't have cross bars. No problems at all.

If you visit the Ibera website or youtube and look at their corporate videos, they recomend you do not use it with the seatpost mounted rack. this is due to the weight capacity for which both the rack and the pannier are rated.

Concur with all the other responses. My panniers are flush with the top of the rack. I think it's a very good design. I bike 10 miles one way and my panniers carry my work clothes no problem. Also the rack lets me bungee cord additional items on top of the rack (lunch box).

The velcro straps on each bag are 12 inches long, and completely covered in velcro. On my bike I have them overlapped by 5 inches. which gives me 19 inches between the two saddlebags. I believe that you could reduce the overlap to 3 inches, and it would still be strong enough. Anything less, they might pull apart.
