Ortlieb Ultimate 5 bag on Dahon Speed TR mini review
Got the Ortlieb Ultimate 5 bag yesterday and posted a couple pics. Finally got it on my Speed TR today and had an issue where the bottom of the bag was rubbing the front fender lightly. You can't see it in this pic but you can see it's low.
Took the Klickfix bracket off and essentially shifted it all up a hole. Doing this however only has one point of security on the bracket itself. Certainly not optimum but I don't really smell any trouble brewing either. It's plenty secure.
And by moving the bracket up you can see I have the requisite clearance I need now.
Nice bag. Held everything I needed to hold and didn't notice any "sail" effect and it was fairly windy here today. Might need to shorten my cables a little to make everything tidy.

I saw where someone got around that issue by re-routing the cables through the inside of the adapter, where the cables are protected on four sides by the adapter. It looked really nice too.
