Of course this means it won't just slide on and click into place, you gotta fidgit with it for a bit, but it works. I suppose they would also be good for stabilizing the bag to the Topeak rack for when I'm taking the mtn bike trail home in the summertime. But I never remember to do that and in 2 years of commuting with this bag the slider and clip hasn't failed me yet. Good stuff.
The newer ones have eliminated the Velcro straps. When I looked last night Amazon had both old and new versions of the large expandable DXP trunk bag available as well as old and new versions of the trunk bag EX. The older versions have the velcro straps pictured. In the descriptions both of the velcro strap including models are listed as 2008 models.
