I was carrying an excessive amount of stuff, but I wanted to see how the handling was with lowrider panniers.
And?
Looks nice, I'm seriously considering getting some lowrider panniers for my winter/hack bike

Continued to ride well. The weight was there, but I didn't feel like I had to adapt to a very different style of riding. Descending was fun (well, whatever small hills there are around here). Very happy so far.
I do believe that low trail has an effect on how the bike handles with front load, but frankly I don't have any prior experience with this much weight in the front.

I've moved the levers up and tilted the bars down, pretty good now I think. Thanks for the suggestion.
Did my first over 200km ride. Not sure how much I enjoyed it, but I felt there were no major issues considering the nine hours on the bike. I was carrying an excessive amount of stuff, but I wanted to see how the handling was with lowrider panniers.
