Question about Homage 5 and Ortlieb e-trunk bag

[EllieKen]

Hi there everyone
We have just taken delivery of a new Homage 5 bike.
Does anyone know if the Ortlieb etrunk bag will fit on the rear rack? If so, will it fit with the Backroller panniers that we have? I have tried to ask both Ortlieb and R&M and neither knew.
Do I have to be the one who finds out by ordering (online) and discovering it doesn't? And then returning it... No one sells it anywhere near us.

Cheers

Ellie

New Trunk Bag

Hi all Looking to get a new clip on trunk bag and considering the following models. Ortlleb; Trunk Bag RC Ortlieb; E-Trunk Bag Basil; Sport Design Trunk Bag Has anyone got experience with these and what are your thoughts on them. DG…

Same trunk bag, RM Nevo. That said, no guarantee the rack is the same. In fact, it is not, if you have the "co-sprung" rack option (I'm assuming you did not select the minimalist option).

I believe your rack is the MIK HD. HD usually means 'heavy duty,' which, in my experience means oversized tube diameters. I would confirm with RM that your rack is the MIK HD, then check again with Ortlieb for both the trunk bag/panniers. Then, update this post.

Thank you for that added info. It is the MIK HD, you're right.
It's a 16ml tube. The clips from the panniers clip onto it easily.
I think I will take a chance and just order it and send it back if it doesn't fit. It's free shipping to send to me, not return shipping, though.

I think that's what we'll do. I'll report back.
Cheers!

I'm reporting back our findings as the bag has just arrived.
In short, the answer to the question as to if the trunk bag will fit on at the same time as the panniers, is no, it will not.
The trunk bag itself fits onto the back rack perfectly and quickly. Obviously, the panniers go on very well too. It's just that they cannot be on at the same time, no matter which one is put on first. Very disappointing, as the trunk bag is a beautiful bag.
I hope this helps somebody else who is making a decision about purchasing.

Hello Ellie,
Here is what we added to our Homage et Delite 4, to manage trunk AND pannier at the same time. ;-)

Taschenhalterung | Bike Parts

Diese Taschenhalterungen werden im Spritzgussverfahren hergestellt. Dieses Modell (ab 2023) besteht aus glasfaserverstärktem Polyamid (PA6 GF50). Und das beste daran ist, dass es im Gegensatz zum Vorgängermodell jetzt nur noch einen sogenannten "Universalhaken" gibt.Du kannst die Halterungen nun...

Thank you for this info. It looks a great solution. My husband has built a workaround, which is heavy and clumsy looking compared to this. However it's done (for mine, so far) and relatively cheap. I will post a photo when I get a minute.
Is that €29 for a pair? Or for one side only?

If it was available here, we would get it anyway...

Cheers

Ellie
