Hi everyone. I’m really sorry for the dumb question and rant but I’m so lost and keep going round in circles as to what I can actually attach to the luggage rack on my Commuter 5. From what I’ve gathered, the rack (as in the picture) is a canyon specific Tubus Evo? It came with a big tag attached to it saying “I’m a Racktime luggage rack!” With pictures of snapit bags and a QR code that just takes you to a YouTube video of someone drawing snapit bags.
There’s no info in the manual with the bike, nothing on the website, in the specifications, nothing. I know I can use Ortlieb but I want a bag that can attach to the top of the rack, not just on the sides.
I wasn’t sure what snapit version it is but based on rack times explanations of 4 holes vs round rods, I figured it was snapit 2.0, but the bag does not fit.
So does that mean it’s snapit 1.0? Because I can’t see how a snapit 1.0 is going to connect? Does it mean I need a snapit 1.0 adapter plate to actually utilise it? (In which case I’m super frustrated because if I still require an adapter plate then isn’t almost any luggage rack actually a snapit rack because you can put adapter plates on them?) and if that’s the case, does that mean I can actually use an adapter plate from another brand and use a different range of bags instead? Because at this point I’m so frustrated with Racktime for their complete inability to provide specific information on their products so that this shouldn’t be so hard to figure out.
Also because it took me a while to find a bag from their small range that actually appealed to me, but the 1.0 version costs twice as much. (And so I’m also willing to consider attaching a 2.0 plate if I have to attach one anyway, because buying one + the bag I already have is still much cheaper than going the 1.0 route)
When I looked up Tubus Evo I also don’t find anything on snapit so I’m struggling to understand why a big label advertising snapit functionality was attached to it if it isn’t already snapit ready and would require additional accessories apart from the bags that already have the attachments on it.
FWIW i was trying to attach the Yves 2.0.
Thank you to anyone who can help me out on this, I’m sorry I’m too dumb to figure this out.
