does this bag with with the topeak beam rack mounted to the seat post vs. the rack that mounts to the frame for even more support

you can use it with the MTX beam rack but I would be worried about the weight of the bag and the contents being suspended from just one point like the seat post mount. I have mine on a frame MTX mount and I can load it down when needed.

This bag will fit the frame rack an the beam rack (seat post rack). Slides on and clips in place. I have mine on the frame rack and love it. The beam rack says it is rated to hold 20 lbs. if that is correct, should work as well.

I have it mounted to the frame rack. It is a great unit. They have a lot of adapters to mount it to the bike. Don't think it would mount to seat post.

I had to return this item because the bag only fit a rack made by Topeak...there is similar model that fits any rack (it uses velcro straps). I'm not sure I answered your question but I agree with the previous answer. I can't imagine a beam rack mounted to the seat post would offer any stability.

Yes if you have a woman's bike you will need the bar that fits under your seat and attaches to the handle bar so that your bike can be mounted on the bike rack. I really like my bike rack

I have a Hyundai Accent that I have a roof rack for. I have used this bag with the rack and it works really great. I love this bag!

It came with a rack over the rear wheel. You can mount a basket or small sadle bag on it.

It attaches to the seat post. So long as you have standard post nothing more than the gear.

It depends if your rack attaches to your seat post then no. If your rack attaches elsewhere the height of your seat will determine if there is room, the higher the seat more clearance.

The QR is used for those that want or have panniers with their trunk bag. This keeps the panniers from crashing into the chain and wheel while riding.Please note the weight restrictions when useing a beam rack. If you intend on loading, go for the full frame mount. Hope this helps :-) J.

No. I own a T-Bag that works great without a rack/sissy bar, but this bag really needs a sissy bar to keep it from sliding back during normal freeway riding. Great little bag, just needs a rack + sissy bar to get it from point A to point B.

Topeak has an excellent site -www.topeak.com Your bag will fit on all three. The difference in racks is how they are made to fit over the rear tire. They all clamp to the seat post: the E extends straight out, so if your tire sits higher than where you attach it, the E will not fit on the bike; the A slants up before it goes parallel to the ground, so it clears a high rear wheel like that on most road bikes (I use this on my tandem -small stoker); the V slants down (large frame road or bike with small wheels. Mostly you want the one that sits closest to the wheels, especially if you throw your leg over the rear wheel to mount the bike. Look at your seatpost and where you would clamp this on and figure out if you can extend straight out or need to go up or down to just clear the wheel. They all mount and work the same, it's just about wheel clearance. I have all three, the A I bought first and have no use for as it sits way too high and I can't straddle my commuter, so I ended up getting the E.

The rack with weight if contents in the bag would likely shift to the left or right instead of remaining center as mounted regardless how hard you tighten the clamping piece on the seatpost. I can live with it and center the rack after a bumpy ride.

Judging from the appearance of the bike racks on the Internet I would say 'yes' as to both devices. The racks will be bolted to the bed of the carrier, presumably with the use of nuts, bolts and washers. I'm not a bike rider, but I like the look of the Ultra-Fab better.

I purchased the Topeak rack, which technically has all of its own accessories, but you don't need to purchase them. I figure I can upgrade later if I want. I like the rack because it is very sturdy. This basket really does fit any rack, but I love how large it is. Because it is so large, purchase a bigger bungee net. I purchased the suggested one & it's VERY tight. I also like this basket because, as a plus sized rider, I have a little hang over with my rear & the basket does not get in the way. Hope that helps. Anyway, go with the Topeak.

I used it on a Trek with angled seat post. Because the rack is not adjustable for angle, this means it has to be raised on the post to clear the rear tire. On a vertical seat post the rear of the rack will be the same height as where it attaches to the seat post, instead of lower, as on a angled seat post. Works fine either way. Its a solid, but not heavy rack

No, this saddle bag comes with chrome supports and the bags will mount to the supports. You can also look at many quick release options from Saddleman for a more convenient setup for installation and removal.

It should, the panniers hook on the side part of the rack and the top bag sits between the 2 on the top of the rack.

There's a reasonable amount of room between the seat/mount and the frame, so I suspect so. You should definitely stop by your LBS and see what they have to say since a lot of it will depend on your frame size/design.

The rack(or bag) is not going to come off, no way... but yes, if you ride hard enough, with enough weight in it, the bag might shift a little. It's a good setup, and designed well. functional... Any movement would come from basic seat post design limitations. this is a good unit. with no problems. The quick-disconnect is super.
