I'm thinking about doing a cycle tour in Argentina/Chile for three months... we'll probably looking to spend as much time on dirt/shingle as we can...
What is the best front rack, pannier combination with this in mind?? At the moment I'm based out of Brazil (no good bikeshops) what's a good web retailer to order these bits from... Cheers Matt ![]() |

That would be one of my dream tours....
I'd be looking for panniers that could take the punishment and make it out alive. I don't have suspension, and I've never been in and out of Patagonia -- so this isn't from experience. Just pointers. Here's three web shops I've used, they all seem to have the same database. I understand Jandd bags are rugged, but I'm sure there are others. http://www.bikemannetwork.com/Merch...ategory_Code=AC http://store.airbomb.com/ba/asp/cc.2/ab/items.htm http://aebike.com/site/page.cfm?PageID=30&Category=2 AEBike always has low prices, and I'm always happy with their service. Just a satisfied customer. There are several front racks showing "for suspension forks", on all 3 sites. Hope this helps -- Mark |

Old Man Mountain makes nice racks that should work for you. They deal direct and through dealers. Web site URL: <http://www.oldmanmountain.com/>
