Review on 🚲 Topeak MTX Dual Side Pannier Frame: Ultimate Beam Rack Accessory by Michael Bazen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Turns my Road Warrior into a commuter bike

Simple and efficient. This article saved me from swapping out my favorite frame so I could lug my laptop and change of clothes to work every day. On my seatpost I sometimes have a little trouble getting the threads properly tightened and still manage to close the latch - strong fingers help with that. There is relatively little side-to-side rocking once switched on, which was an issue prior to purchase. If you're a short rider and don't have a lot of seatpost to back it up, you may need an alternative solution. This may seem obvious, but let's assume the yoke here is 3 inches long. That means you need at least 3 inches of clearance between the frame and the seat.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky
