I use an Arkel Tailrider on a Tubus Fly on my Romulus. The Fly is too narrow for most trunk racks, but if you call up Arkel, they'll make a Tailrider with extra-long straps that will enable it to work with the Fly (they'll charge a few bucks more). Additionally, the Tailrider is sufficiently low-profile and stiff to work with the narrow platform of the Fly. I've been happy with this setup, but lately I just throw an Ortleib Front Roller on the rack for the extra capacity and easier access. I don't worry much about aerodynamics.
You can see from the following photo that I was able to mount the Fly to the seatstay eyelet on my Romulus: http://www.flickr.com/photos/7850...@n06/5215665883/ Horace.
