Yeah, I got burned by this myself. I own a rack and bag that are compatible, but wanted a new,
larger bag for my 50 mile RT commute. The new bag wasn't compatible, but I liked the design plus I
bought it out-of-town (Richardson Bike Mart in Dallas, I live in Cincinnati), so I just kept it.
Instead of using the "quick connect" feature I use the Velcro straps that are supposed to be used
with non-Topeak racks.
I would like to hear both the marketing and the design departments reason for having
different designs. When I bought the bag, compatibility with my current rack wasn't even the
remotest of concerns.
