I love the topeka rail system too- I took an extra seat clamp and used it to clamp the extenders (as there's no bosses in the usual place) My city kit is on the way but I'll probably just use the fender and not the rack. Anyone know if the rear light is removable? I'd like to attach it to the topek rail system.Welcoming the ST1 Platinum to the family. Awesome bike after 3 rides.
I got the "Ibera PakRak IB-RA5 Touring Plus Bicycle Carrier" and "Ibera PakRak Bicycle Quick-Release Commuter Trunk Bag" which fits the ST2S like a glove. You do need "Axiom Trekk Seat Collar w/Rack Eyelets, 31.8mm" to attach the rack.. I also skipped the disc brake spacer supplied with the rack and connected it directly with the fender mount screws.@Traci You might find some answers to your rack questions here! Good luck! Looks like @Laptop-guy has a sturdy rack on his perhaps it will accommodate Abus Granit X-Plus 540 U lock!?
Great pics laptop guy. How many cane covers did you buy to cover the lock? 1?2? I have the same one New York lock. What a great idea! I have just been scratching my rear fender every time I place and remove the lock around the rear tire/ frame.I got the "Ibera PakRak IB-RA5 Touring Plus Bicycle Carrier" and "Ibera PakRak Bicycle Quick-Release Commuter Trunk Bag" which fits the ST2S like a glove.

You have to flip the seat post "bars" to just the right position to get it to fit without touching the fender but once done it is solid as a rock.
The trunk bag is HUGE. In the bottom is plenty of room to lay my "Kryptonite New York Standard Bicycle U-Lock" that I covered the U part with "DMI Foam Hand Grip Replacement for Standard Handle Canes" so it has some really great cushion on it when I use it against my frame.

Thanks @goldendorp. I got 2 of them to get full coverage. Each 'grip' is about a 12 inch straight tube. For symmetry I put one on centered around the curve and cut the other in half trimming it to fit on both sides, I butted the trimmed ends against the yellow lock bar.Great pics laptop guy.

Um... Just curious here, but won't that tide add-on at the front of the bike get soggy in the rain?
Watch out for sticks Kidrok with those flaps . I've read some horrendous storys , and seen some dramatic pictures of destroyed fenders crumpled against bikes headstock, resulting in rider going over the bars from front wheel locking up.. Having fenders are nice but take extra caution. Just one Stromer rider watching out for another.
I got the racktime adapter rails and drilled some holes- I love my topeak too! I couldn't let it go...Thanks for the reply. I need the panniers and love the quick release. I'll lose some style points but gain utility. Beautiful photos by the way. I live in NYC but dream of San Francisco.
