Topeak MTX Trunk Bag DX Bicycle Trunk Bag with Rigid Molded Panels Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)To help visualize, the horizontal space of the main compartment of this trunk is big enough to tightly carry two plastic gallons of milk and there is a vertical separator panel with velcro ends to sort into 2 loads. The vertical space of the main compartment will allow the zipper to close with a milk container in the rear, but as the front slopes downward, there's not quite enough clearance in the front of the trunk for the top of the second milk container.
The side pocket space is pretty narrow due to the rigid molding which gives the bag a neat and trim appearance -- don't plan on putting anything much more than an inch wide if you want to be able to zipper close. Otherwise don't forget to bring a bungie cord or two (always a good idea) in which case the top of the pocket opens to about 5 inches before being held at that width by side expanders on the front and back. I would have rather had the rigid sides confined to the main compartment or had the side pockets otherwise engineered to zipper close around wider objects.
Plenty of places to strap the trunk down if you don't have a Topeak MTX bike rack, but it's pretty slick if you do have one. Just slide and go and use the included carrying strap if you want to use it as a small shopping carrier.
A bit pricey, but a nice product overall.

Topeak Pannier Dry Bag Water Proof Bicycle Pannier Bag (1-Pair) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These bags are waterproof- true enough. And they have convenient shoulder straps, etc. But mine constantly fall off my bike....if I hit a bump or something. Maybe they just aren't all the compatible with my bike rack, but I think there is some sort of design flaw that one needs to be aware of when making the choice to buy these.
Also, they somehow seem really small, too. I still use mine everyday, but I have to strap 'em on and pack everything in really tight.
If i knew then what i know now, I would've gone with a different bag.

Topeak RX Trunk Bag EX Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The bag is well made. It's pretty small, but large enough for an experienced "credit card" bike tourer to use for trips of several days, perhaps as long as a week in warm dry weather. The nicest feature is the mounting system, it sides on and off the Topeak Beam Rack in a flash.

Topeak FlashStand Slim Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Before I bought my expensive road bike, I had a my hybrid bike and put a kickstand on this bike. Face it, kickstands are PRACTICAL. There are too many places where you get off the bike, but there is nowhere to stand the bike, except on the ground.
I bought a road bike a few months back, and alas, no kickstand. I had difficulty standing it against things, and people kept telling me that I shouldn't lay it on the ground. Enter the flashstand! Now, when I go for a ride, I bring it, and when I need to get off my bike voila - instant kickstand!
The flashstand is lightweight and compact. It folds up into about a 6 inch strip, so you can just put in your bento bag or pocket.
When I went to my local bike store, one of the employees saw me using it, and he ran up to me, asked to borrow it, and showed it to his manager (they don't sell the flashstand at this store).
I do not know of any other contraption that would allow me to have a kickstand on my carbon frame bike, so I'm pleased with the flashstand.
True, what they say - it's not compatible with all bikes. I have a Madone 5.1 WSD and it works fine with this. According to the manufacturer, it is compatible with "Shimano? Dura Ace, Ultegra or 105 non-drive side crank arm with a dimension of 35mm x 80mm to securely hold a 700c road bike".
Somone also mentioned stability as an issue. It is not as stable as a good kickstand, but it's workable. When using it, there is better stability if you turn the front wheel in the opposite direction of the side the flashstand is located.
All in all.....for me, it's a must have, and I give it a 4 of 5 stars.
