Personally, I use a
Racktime Trunkit. It suffers from the same problem as the Topeak MTX but it can be adapted to an
Ortlieb system. The
Ortlieb trunk bag is a little too small for commuting purposes but their attachment is superb. To make the Racktime Trunkit work, you need to replace the Racktime attachment system with an
Ortlieb basket adapter.
All this seems like a kludge job and it is to some extent but I've used my Trunkit in extremely harsh mountain bike conditions without having bag come off even when I crashed. I can't say the same about velcro based systems.
