Klickfix UniKlip Rack Bags
Klickfix/Rixen&Kaul UniKlip mount allows for of a bag on a rack without any provisions from the rack side. Two rack bags on the market are particularly well suited, in terms of dimensions, for rack-equipped Brompton and other folders. One, relatively well known by now, is the Vincita Nash Rackbag. However, there is also somewhat less known Rackpack Touring UniKlip by Rixen&Kaul in the market. They have similar maximal capacity of about 20l. However, the latter capacity for Vincita is only arrived when opening up and filling the side panniers in the bag. The main compartment in Vincita has a volume of only 12l. I needed to reach for the Rixen&Kaul one, because my laptop would not fit into the Vincita and fitted nicely into the former. As to other considerations, Rixen&Kaul is more expensive, but compensates it with a tad nicer finish, thicker zippers and various pockets for smaller items. Some longer items may be easier to carry in the Vincita panniers, not there in R&K. Both bags come with rain covers and shoulder straps. There are some color options for Vincita. Photos follow below.

Ortlieb has a similar system that fits on most racks there are other sizes.
Width is OK for the Brompton without risks of heel strikes.
The bags have an adjustable grip that clips on the rear rack.

Could you advise make and model of what looks to be folding rear view mirror on the left Brompton? I have miracle mirror similar to the one of the right but I don't see much in it in down position. Thanks.

This is an attachment named SideWinder, not there anymore in the market. The bike on the right has the original product and the one on the left has my own, inspired by the original. It allows to roll the folded bike on its side, like a suitcase.
