I have no complaint against panniers doing what they are supposed to do. The only problem I have is how single use they are and how heavy they are for the job...
Be sure the rack is stable. I like the top plate, as it helps to strap stuff to, and helps keep mud and gook from coming up off the tires. The larger...

If you're serious about wanting a lighter touring bikes there are many options around 20lbs. If you're going to go with the drop bars I'd take Dennis up on his...

Super quite on the group and with summer approaching I was hoping more people would be biking/touring and going a bit lighter than usual and reporting in. I...
We've been planning this seriously now for about a month and we are leaving this Thursday. I posted two pics of my "rig" in the Photos section. To give you an...

I just finished the first leg of my first big mile trip. 495 miles total. From New Orleans, Louisiana to Ft. Payne, Alabama in the US. I haven't done a tour...
Saltheart, That sounds brutal. Why did you leap from 20 miles to a tour? I assume that you never did any touring before. Im curious as to why you thought the...

For this upcoming trip I made myself an ultra light wallet. Its 7.3 grams and holds two card sized cards and money (cash). Im not the greatest sewer but I was...
Good idea... Something like that could be extended to my everyday training setup. Currently I throw my whole wallet in my jersey because it is pretty thin to...
Saltheart, Sounds like the start of a good trip. I know that west of New Orleans for some miles roads are scarce as they need to be elevated and the interstate...
I had good luck recently with a Jandd frame bag. Light, aerodynamic, and big enough to put wallet, keys, small camera. I would dismount, and in seconds have...
