Which Panniers?
I'm new to this forum and posted this yesterday in the tech corner and got zero responses so thought i might have better fortune with you guys.
I have recently fitted a light weight rack to my road bike I'm seeking advice on suitable pannier or panniers for my daily commute of around 24 miles (total). I normally carry a couple of items of clothes (shirt, socks, etc.) leaving my work suit and shoes at work, and a very few tools - so I trave quite light. But if i had better storage I'd probably also carry a rain suit now we are into the worse weather. The panniers will of course need to be weather proof as I will be cycling throughout winter. Any personal recommendations would be gratefully received. Cheers. |

Re: Which Panniers?
I saw this advice on some website...
"Panniers are bags designed to fit on your bike and carry 50% more than you actually need. When looking for panniers, find a nice big pair and don't buy them."

Re: Which Panniers?
Thanks for the responses - I'll check out the range you suggest, and I'd already decided to only buy something as big as i need to avoid the temptation of hauling around dead weight unnecessarily - Cheers

I just bought some Nashbar Panniers that are humongous and so far they're working well. I have yet to have it rain on me but they are supposed to be waterproof. They fit very securely to the rack. |
