Title: Bag For Mini Rear Rack
Post by: Dave S on March 21, 2021, 07:33:19 AM
Newby looking for a bag for the rear rack on my just ordered Mini 4. I didn't see one that looked like it would fit on the Rad web site.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Dave S

I got one of these:  https://amzn.to/2TGa0UA

Just remember it's one more thing you have to swing your leg over to get on the bike.   ::)

I got this one at Wally World .com and pretty happy with it. I picked the black one.

Hi Erik

Could you possibly post a picture of your Topeak bag on your mini. I've been looking at that bag but wondering how well it fits on the Rad rack (waiting for my rack to arrive.) I'm also thinking of using the MTX version of that bag with Topeak's Omni Quicktrack Adapter. I think I read somewhere on this forum that the adapter had been successfully used on the mini rack.

Thanks
Dave S

Dave S, I'm sorry but I'm away from home on a camping trip until about April 5th, and the Rad Mini is not with me to take a photo of.  It does strap on quite securely, as I recall.

Hi Dave,

I have a Topeak bag that is compatible with Topeak rack.

Hi!

For my Rad mini, I went with the Topeak bag and the MTX adapter from Cascade.

I had a Topeak MTX bag that I was using on another bike. On a lucky break, I got a (hard to come across) rear carrier for my RadMini ST2. I managed to find an Omni Quicktrack Adapter and, finding inspiration from other posts on forums, fitted the adapter to the rear carrier.

Basically, two tie wraps to hold the adapter down. I have also used tie wraps underneath to help centre the adapter (later changed to sturdier, tie wraps)

I'm handy and I was able to fabricate some extra mounting to put the ToPeak receiver onto my RadMini rack.  The ToPeak bag is very handy to have the side panniers fold out as necessary.

I got a Lixada trunk bag, I have been using it every day for about 6 months and I love it! This bag is more prominent on the inside than I thought it would be. I love the extra pockets on the outside. Easy to strap on with the wide Velcro straps. I think it is valuable to buy.
