But I just can't get used to the idea of having them.<br /><br />This is going to be vain - hey what do you expect from me - but for me having panniers would be like going to the shop with one of those granny shopping trolleys (you know the ones with wheels at the bottom).<br /><br />On a more practical side - I am worried about the extra weight on the bike, the extra width allowing someone to clip them (and the extra drag) and the main problem that I just don't have the space on my seatpost. Currently I have space for a detachable rear mud guard and my saddle pack - I have to attach my light to the saddle pack.Idle Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18086168732392336805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1059903041782537560.post-55250833057614360462011-07-21T07:54:05.984+01:002011-07-21T07:54:05.984+01:00Boring answer; if you're sick of a sweaty back...Boring answer; if you're sick of a sweaty back and can fit a rack on the bike, don't get a better backpack, get panniers.eqhttp://stevewoodward.posterous.com/noreply@blogger.com
