Thanks for the head’s up, Patrick. I have seen these before, and they look like excellent bags. However, since I’ll be using these for commuting and shopping, and need to install and remove frequently, I’m thinking the attachment may not be the best for my use.
I have happily been using Lone Peak panniers for almost 30 years now. The attachment system would be hard to better, in my estimation. Simple hooks on the top rail that swivel completely around the rail. No fussy spring-loaded mechanisms needed. A bungee cord running down the back of the pannier with an S hook at the end to grab whatever part of the rack is down there to accept it. The bungee cord length is adjusted by simply tying a knot in the cord (to take up slack) to accommodate sizing needs. The load stays very secure due to tension from the bungee. As a bonus, I find them fairly easy to install and remove. Geez, I should just get a replacement pair! But they no longer make the model I own, and all equal I would prefer to purchase bags made of Cotton Duck. > On Mar 1, 2019, at 1:50 PM, 'Deacon Patrick' via RBW Owners Bunch > <rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com> wrote: > > Not what you were asking, John, but would the Rivendell Back-a-bike Bags work > for you?
