FAQs
Are these arms compatible with any Topeak rack?
No, these specific XL Mounting Arms (TRK-R023) are designed to be compatible only with Topeak Tubular Racks-XL.
What is the primary benefit of using these mounting arms?

Ensure the bike bags are evenly loaded. Check that the mounting arms themselves are fully tightened and that the rack is stable on the bike. Consider using additional straps if your bag allows.
