Nice movie. However you can make it yourself. Just google Woodprix and learn how to do it easily.
What are the thoughts of using panniers on just the front or just the back pros/cons?
I got a lot of short trip roadie actually using back pack. not a problem
GOOD ONE DARREN
Hot & sweaty are reasons?!.. I rode the Pilgrim route from the Pyrenees to Santiago de Compostela with a 45 litre rucksack and realised what a stupid mistake it was within a day – it was utterly exhausting and really hard on my lower back. Carrying that weight, that high, on your back and arms is idiotic when you have a frame that will carry the load for you..
good advice…
Hello everyone here some adject us at my country we have tour
Hey Darren,
you forgot to mention framebags and other ways of mounting your belongings to the bike without a rack.
It eliminates the possibility of the rack breaking and saves some weight as well.
I would like to hear your opinion about these options. Best regards from Germany!
30kg rear racks are great and some double up as a rear mudguard. Trailers are like riding with the brakes on and all the dirt is flung over then from the bike wheel.
