I just bought a Specialized Rockhopper Sport. It's a hardtail. I am planning on putting my Bontrager rear rack on the bike for my MTB journeys in Marin County. Instead of using my Bontrager pannier, I am thinking of getting a Topeak rear rack bag. Will the Topeak MTX Ex fit on my Bontrager rack? I am hesitant on buying a Tetra Rack since I my bike is a hardtail and I have the mounts that will work with my Bontrager rack. Thoughts anyone?
