    Nope. Reputable firm so I guess probably works OK, but I wouldn't put a laptop on a rack. At least, not my own or if I had to rely on it working when I got there.

    Hi

    I used to have a STD MTX top bag .

    Works well with the rack -- very secure and locks in place. Take 2 seconds to take off.

    I would buy one again.

    One thing -- the MTX rack and bag seemed heavy IMHO

    If you get it -- post an update

    Cheers

    sorry to revive such a dull topic - I've dismissed the "Office bag" as I don't need to carry a lap top.

    Does any one use http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/Topeak_MTX_Trunk_Bag_DX_with_Side_Panniers/5360012462/#more for commuting -

    can you fit A4 files/ring binders in the panniers?

    I used to use this when I was at uni after work and needed to carry folders/textbooks etc

    I have to say, it's not the most attractive pannier out there but it certainly did the job and my stuff also never seemed to get wet during bad weather.
