Comments about Novara Rack Trunk:

I have used this bag for more than 6 months. It is a good general purpose bag. Other users have mentioned problems with one hand operation but I have not experienced this problem. The bag is big enough to hold my portable pump, lock, bike tool, and a couple folded shopping bags. It is perfect for commuting to work or running to the supermarket. The Velcro attachment straps are strong and can easily be mounted on the top of my rack even with the panniers attached as well.

Best Uses

Comments about Novara Rack Trunk:

I bought this rack trunk as a gift for a family member because I am very happy with a Novara rack trunk I bought a few years ago. The new model is disappointly inferior to the older model. It has no pockets for stashing small items. The older model has convenient zippered pockets on the sides and top, so small items like keys and snacks are readily accessible. The older model also has unzippered pockets agaist the edges on the inside where you can stash tools, etc. The loss of these features makes the trunk much less pleasant to use.

Also, the way the rack trunk opens is inconvenient. The entire trunk, including the top, is made of a rigid material. To open the trunk, you have to open the entire zipper and raise the whole top. Forget about rolling back just an inch or two to grab your bike lock. Then, good luck closing it with one hand if you're using your other hand to hold the item you removed. The trunk has fabric straps inside that connect the top to the rest of the trunk. These straps love to stick out of the trunk and block the zipper if you don't take care to push them inside.

Sorry, REI. Newer is not better.
