What rack do you have it on? I have a pretty narrow rack but I'm not against getting something else.
I just found out that my new Ortlieb panniers (just received them today) won't fit on the back rack with the Topeak MTX trunk bag attached. Unfortunately when I slide the Topeak into the track the bag covers up the outside rails where the panniers attach.
I guess I'll only be using the Topeak for short trips with the family (drinks, and snacks for the wife and kid) and I'll use the panniers for commuting to work. This is actually fine with me; I can use the top of the rack with cargo netting and tie items down that way. This will actually give me more carry room than the MTX bag would. I like the MTX bag so I'm going to keep it.
