I have the 2022 Specialized Diverge (size 58) [https://www.specialized.com/us/en/diverge-e5/p/199973?color=322137-199973](https://www.specialized.com/us/en/diverge-e5/p/199973?color=322137-199973)
Just bought this rear rack:
* Topeak Super Tourist Tubular Bicycle Trunk Rack DX with Side Bar for Disc Brake Bikes
* [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000ZKHN6Y](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000ZKHN6Y)
And this trunk bag to go with it:
* Topeak MTX Trunk Bag DX
* [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0187ZRLX8](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0187ZRLX8)
Worth noting I’m also getting this 125mm dropper post installed:
* PNW Components Rainier Gen 3 Travel Adjust 27.2 mm Dropper Post – 125 mm
* [https://www.rei.com/product/203389/pnw-components-rainier-gen-3-travel-adjust-272-mm-dropper-post-125-mm](https://www.rei.com/product/203389/pnw-components-rainier-gen-3-travel-adjust-272-mm-dropper-post-125-mm)
And getting these new tires put on:
* Panaracer – GravelKing SK Plus Tire (700 x 43)
* [https://www.gearx.com/panaracer-gravelking-sk-plus-tire-tubeless-folding-protite-protection](https://www.gearx.com/panaracer-gravelking-sk-plus-tire-tubeless-folding-protite-protection)
I read online that people have had some issues setting up rear racks on the Diverge and have needed to purchase additional seatpost clamps, like this:
* [https://www.amazon.com/Vincita-Seatpost-Clamp-Carrier-Fixation/dp/B07KM1HS6F/](https://www.amazon.com/Vincita-Seatpost-Clamp-Carrier-Fixation/dp/B07KM1HS6F/)
Do I need to buy one of these? \^
Will this rack fit well with the new tires?
Will the dropper post be pretty much rendered useless while I have the trunk bag on?
Wondering if anyone else have this sort of setup or has thoughts on it?

I have this rack.
Yes, you will need that seatpost clamp.
I don’t know how that would affect a dropper post, but I assume it wouldn’t work..
