This depends primarily on the bag’s mounting system.
VAUDE offers bags with different fastening systems.

Bags that are attached to the side of the carrier
QMR 2.0:

Bags with this mounting system can be mounted, thanks to the supplied reducers on all common luggage carriers with a tube cross-section of 8 to a maximum of 16 mm.

Also, always pay attention to whether you hear the click sound when closing. Only then is it guaranteed that the hook is properly seated. This applies in particular to carriers that do not have a round rod, but, for example, an angular or oval.

Step Adjust:
Bags with this fastening system can be attached to luggage racks with a tube diameter of 8 – 20 mm. The Step Adjust System is also suitable for oval tube cross-sections.

Bags to be attached to the top of the carrier
Velcro fastener:
Bags supplied with Velcro fastener mounted fit on carrier tubes with width 10 to 16 cm and round tube diameter 8 to 20 mm.

Snap-It:
Bags that are supplied with a Snap-it adapter mounted have the advantage that they can be detached from the carrier with a simple operating lever. However, they are only compatible with Racktime racks.

MIK:
Bags that are supplied with a MIK adapter mounted have the advantage that they can be detached from the carrier with a simple operating lever. However, they are only compatible with MIK racks.

i-Rack:
Bags that are supplied with an i-Rack adapter mounted have the advantage that they can be easily detached from the carrier. However, they are only compatible with Carrymore racks.

UniKlip:
Bags that are supplied with a Rixen and Kaul UniKlip adapter mounted can be combined with the following carrier dimensions:
– Luggage carrier width 9-16 cm
– Tube diameter luggage carrier 8-16 mm

All bags with the QMR 2.0 fastening system can be locked via a small lock (e.g. Abus 145/20) on the carrier. More Information here.

Here it is crucial to take a closer look at the carrier. If the luggage carrier has lowered crossbars on the side, as is usual with luggage carriers, then the use of both bags is possible. If the carrier has only one crossbar at the top, this is only possible in exceptional cases and must be tested with the respective bags.

Bicycle bags that are transported by bicycle can leave traces of use. In the case of panniers that cannot be mounted 100 % vibration-free, dirt can get between the fastening and the frame, which can cause (friction) in the long run and thus affect (the paint) the paint on the frame. To prevent this, a protective film is applied to the frame beforehand.

Depending on the system, you can load your VAUDE wheel bag with different weights:

In addition, the limits for the maximum payload of the rack manufacturers must be observed.
