Know before you buy
The Banjo Brothers Expanding Rack Top Bag is designed to mount to most standard rear bicycle racks. However, because rack designs vary, ensure your rack has a flat top surface for the most secure fit.
Yes, the main compartment is thickly padded, which provides enough insulation to keep snacks and drinks at temperature for shorter rides. It is not a replacement for a dedicated cooler, but it works well for a commute or a picnic.
No, this bag is not waterproof. While the ripstop and ballistic nylon materials are durable and can handle light splashes, you should use a rain cover or dry bags inside if you are riding in heavy rain.
The bag has a 12.7-liter capacity, which is ideal for daily essentials like a spare tube, tools, a light jacket, and a packed lunch. The expandable main compartment gives you a bit of extra room when you need to haul more gear.
Yes, it features a dedicated clip on the back specifically designed for attaching a rear taillight. This is a great feature for increasing your visibility to drivers during low-light rides.
No, this bag is not designed to carry a laptop. The dimensions and shape are optimized for smaller gear, tools, and personal items rather than flat electronics.
