Thule Rack and Ortlieb Bag Compatibility

I was wondering if someone could tell me if the Thule Pack n Pedal Tour Rack was compatible with Ortlieb Front Roller Classics.

Thank you, gjmen

Yours? what diameter are the tubes they use ? Measure and get back with the data..


I know the web is laborious,
If you looked it up yourself you would find the numbers 14?, 11 and 8, depending on none or which insert you used .

The Original Hooks are 10mm I use those on My Tubus Racks , the other type, the smallest inserts on my Bike Friday Racks

I have a couple Thule racks - the rails are 10mm in diameter.

I DON'T have any Ortlieb bags but their site indicates that recent models have oversized clips with reducers available to fit them to 20mm, 16mm, 12mm, 10mm and 8mm rails depending on the the model.

So probably. The Ortlieb system is pretty well supported.

I'm using Arkel bags on Tule Racks myself - that's another system that's very well supported.
