I highly reccomend the topeak MTX line.


I like trunk bags/pannier combos vs standard panniers. I was using another brand trunk bag (Lezyne) and was very annoyed by the multiple straps involved with securing the bag. I decided to try the Topeak rail system to solve this problem. I've been running the Explorer rack and DXP bag for about 2 months now and have been happy every day since.


The rail system works very well. It's a breeze to get the bag on and off. It feels very secure and the rack itself is well built.


Another thing I like about the Topek fold out panniers vs other brands is how their bags are attached. The last brand I used was sort of a trunk bag that happened to have fold out panniers, where as the Topeak has pannier bags that happen to fold away (if that makes any since). Basically, they are better panniers.


Go for it! You won't be sorry.
