Christ, dinny tell him that. I don't want to cycle 40-odd miles with my gear swinging fae the handlebars in those stripy pink and white placcy bags fae the corner shop.

he will need 2 if the last set he bought is anything to go by, you would do better with the plastic bags

I spent the money this time Gaz - bought these...

But of course not at that price

nice one, room for lots of beer

The Ken · Sep 24, 2010

yes, I haven't told zigzag about the false bottom, I'll tell him they are heavy because of the quality.

Bike looks good Kaiser but that bar bag will bounce and shoogle about loads offroad. I'd put stuff on the rack but thats just me.

Dead jealous of you lot but unfortunately my ME is playing up so I couldn't do it if I tried

One pannier is not noticeable in its effect on handling even off road but make sure the racks securely fitted

Have fun, dont do anything dangerously stupid and I look forward to your tales of adventure

Aye reckon your right V, I'll keep it low weight though, rain jacket and some food maybe.
