Greetings RBW group,
I've been reading through the pannier recommendations because I'm
investigating
buying my first set of panniers (for Bleriot) and I'm wanting a light
weight set. I like the
Arkel T28s but I'm thinking they may be a bit small for an 8-day trip
planned this summer.
Does anyone

as long as we're armchairing, I'd agree with that.

good amount of climbing
I'm all for it. Other SoCal'ers, what say ye? Heck, I'd like to try it
even if the other SoCal'ers neg the idea.

I can't make the 21st but have ridden Angeles Crest, Angeles Forest,
Big Tujunga, etc. Great riding; nice steady climbs. Another
objective can be Mt Wilson and there's a loop that makes a century,
but requires a lot of time on Foothill, between Sunland and La

Can you even breathe the air there in August? It seems more likely that you'd

That's mine. The color was selected by my wife from the Dupont Fleet Color

close together around the mounting points, which makes it have a
tendency to pop off inwards when riding on bumpy roads. I took the
Hupe off, placed it in a vice,
I have a Sam Hill with Tektro CR720's. They have a brass bushing that
pivots on the canti post. There is a lot of play in the pivot due to
the bushing being larger in diameter and shorter in length than the

not pose a problem
