I've been able to mount the Topeak Pannier Dx Drybag, on the Existing Rip Current S, but I only mount 1 on the non-drive side, as they did not include a guard for the derailer so I don't feel it is a good idea for the drive-side without extra work. The plastic hook on the bottom is stretched a little on the large vertical support, but mine has been very solid in the position I've mounted it in. Many people don't care for the quick release mechanism used on these bags, and I will say they have their quirks. They would not be my choice if I was removing them and mounting them loaded often. The good feature is they are huge, the bad news is they are huge, and they have some exposed fasteners inside that need to be covered if you are carrying non soft items, or more delicate stuff.
I use the Topeak MTX system with the DXP Trunk bag on another bike and also one of the DX Dry bags and the setup is very nice. The DXP bag though is not the most robust, especially the built-in Panniers.
Pannier bag recommendations
So Santa is waiting on my Christmas list, and on it will be a pannier bag for my upcoming CCX. I was reading on some posts here that the Racktime rack that comes with the CCX is pretty weak, and can take up to 20 lbs. Any bag recommendations to pair with it? I do have a Blackburn adjustable fat...
