bought some 36L pannier bag thingys from aldi/lidl today (cant remember which it was they all look the same) seem good value at 14 quid, loadsa pockets,scotchlight and a zip off shoulder bag thingy. i will be using them for roughing it in the lakes in a couple of weeks,,, IE get to the top of a big hill, empty the hip flask, pass out under the stars, have brekkie and bomb down the decent.
tried this before with big back packs and its not ideal, im thinking panniers lower the centre of gravity blahblahblah and make the decents easier ?, have you tried this,,, am i reet
also, i need a pannier rack thingy to attach the bags to but have no idea what size i need or what bits attach to the frame/s (not decided which scrubber to take yet 😆 456 or P7). both frames have bosses at the wish bone and on the drop outs in much the same place. are the rack thingys universal or is their a specific size i need.
expert advise welcomed.
