Just bought a hybrid bike today specifically for in-town shopping trips and wanted to get a good Topeak rack system for it. I'm glad I found this video showing the disc mount system because the bike I bought has disc brakes. Just ordered it and a compatible Topeak crate from Amazon. Thanks for this video.
You should use some locktite blue, semi permanent thread locker to prevent any unfortunate mishaps. Loosing a screw in a remote location while carrying a load can ruin your day.
Cheers for the video, I did the exact same things as you to begin with. The only difference is I bought a "Universal" Pannier Rack (It was meant for normal bikes without disks) XD This one is for the disks though so sweet, I have just bought one similar :) Always best to do re-search first when looking into anything new. You video helps a lot. LET THE TOUR BEGIN!
Installed mine on an NCM electric Moscow mountain bike with hydraulic disc brakes. Fit perfectly until it came to connect those straps to the frame. Zero mounting holes. I actually used zip ties to the frame. Holds it solid and no drilling/tapping holes etc. I painted my straps flat black looks perfect and not clear why TOPEAK didn’t make those powder coat black. Odd
did u go touring with this rack? how much weight if so? is it still alive? I am deciding between this rack and the Axiom ...any advice you could give me? regards
Enjoyed the video. I agree with one of the other posters that a little locktite will save you some possible headaches. Additionally, just for aesthetics, might want to pain those silver support arms black to match the rest of the rack.
Awesome video, still helpful a decade later! Thank you so much

Thanks for the video, I was about to buy a tail light bracket and then I see it that it was included!! also very clean explanation.
Thanks for the detailed video!
Thanks from Brazil!
Hi. thanks for vid. My bike has none of these screw mounts. Can you get accessory adapters to mount the Topeak rack? cheers.
Great video. Very clear and informative, thanks!!!!
Will this rack work on a Trek Verve 2 with disc brakes?

THANK YOU, helped with installing mine! :)
Vielen Dank aus Bayern! Thank you very much from Bavaria 👍
What about the locking clip for the MTX system? Where does that go?
Good video. Thank you for taking the time and explain
Thank you. Excellent instructional video. The "thumbs down" haters probably hate their parents, God, drinkable water, cute puppies and bicycles. Nice work.
Do you know if this rack is compatible with ortlieb panniers?
I'm new to bike racks. Are they easy for bike thieves to steal? Is there anything to do about this?
I don't have screw holes on the seat stays have to get some brackets
Why the dislikes? Good video. Thank you for helping me =D
My bike doesn't have those two holes
Super helpful thank u!

Exactly, they sell you a black rack with bright silver front brackets that make it look cheap and nasty, come on Topeak colour match please.
Mine didn’t fit. 😭
Merci beaucoup
Very useful for me. Thanks!
