Hi Tabogas, Congrats on the new bikes. My wife and I love them. We recently did a 5 day trip on the GAP trail. In addition to being a great trail, the RockBros bags with the panniers, were ideal. it really was easy to attach the adapter to the bottom of the bag. I have included a couple of pics...

Hi riding4fun, this is what we ended up with: the bag is a Rock Bros bag. Additionally I purchased a Basil MIK adapter plate and attached it to the bottom of the bag. My wife and I love the bags and the adapter makes it very easy to securely attach it to the Allant +7. I purchased both from...

Sorry. the batteries are not rechargeable.

jsmirand, thanks for the link. Inexpensive and comes with rechargeable batteries. Sounds like a no brainer.

Sparky731, thanks for reminding me about the MIK adapter again. I tried the Racktime adapter but could not make it work. I went on Amazon and ordered the MIK adapter, which attaches in a different manner than the Racktime adapter. Hopefully the MIK adapter will work.

update on my search for a non-Bontrager trunk bag. Folmonte had suggested a Jandd bag with a Racktime mount option. It was a great suggestion only I do not see how the Racktime mount will attach to my rack (see pics). My rack seems to be a narrow one, app 12in by 3.5in. The front crossbar has a...

Vismund b, Well that explains your elaborate setup to secure your bike. I’m sure it works very well. Fortunately we are not in a high theft area - Delaware eastern shore. jsmirand, great idea. I did not. Insider a low cost low weight alarm system. It just adds another layer of deterrence. Thanks.

Hi vismund b, Thanks for the pics. That’s quite a setup you have. I have to ask if you are in an area with a lot of bike thefts. I am looking for a more moderate level of security, as we will not be leaving our bikes unattended for along period of time, but I do appreciate the pics. I will be...

Sparky731, Thanks for your thoughts on the bag and locks. I’m looking at the Racktime mount adapter to see if it indeed will fit my rack. As I mentioned, I have not ruled out the Bontrager trunk but it seems as they have priced it at the high end of the bags I have been looking at. i have not...

Dodgeman, Thanks for the update on the bag. Folmonty, BTW, great name!! I’m still confused. I went to Rack time web site. Not the most user friendly. I did go on Amazon to look for the Racktime mount option. Could you let me know the name of the one you purchased (I assume it was not their...

Dodgeman, Thanks for your thoughts and pics. I may have to revisit the Bontrager bag for its ease but I did find it to be expensive. In doing my research, I came across nice, less expensive bags but they were secured with velcro. I’m interested to see if any of the members were able to modify...

Hi All, My wife and I are new to the forum, having recently purchased the Allant +7. We are looking for some advice regarding these questions. Here they are: 1) what bike lock do you use? I ordered a U lock from Kryptonite but it is not wide enough to fit over the frame and back tire. I have a...
