Ok, I am assessing Gold DoE groups in a couple of weeks. I am going to take a fair sized daysack, but I would also like to spread some of the weight about my bike. Anybody got any experience in putting panniers on bikes that were not designed for them? And what ones are you using? Mostly on landy tracks, but I don't have enough kit to justify a bobcart.
You could try the [url= https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=blackburn+EX-1+disk&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&channel=fflb#q=blackburn+EX-1+disk&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=ogi&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=fflb&prmd=imvns&source=univ&tbm=shop&tbo=u&sa=X&ei=7r0fUPmZFoTs0gWl74GABw&ved=0CGYQzAMwAQ&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&fp=77b4ba3d407f0a1d&biw=713&bih=418 ]Blackburn EX-1 Disk compatible rack[/url]. Be careful that the quick release is tight. You can use P-clips for the mounts at the top.
I use a topeak beam rack on my road bike from time to time used to use it on my old hard tail with no mounts aswell. Quick reload aswell so quick and easy to fit and remove.
i used one of these on my full suss when i did a 2 day trip across yorkshire.
paired with the matching bags it worked well.
here is a pic of it
