I've done some heavy loading over shit terrain on mine. Things I've learnt. It prefers much smaller panniers. Outside of custom, most OTP ones will need to be modded a bit. I use some front rollers loaded with soft goods.
Secondly, it's tough, but I really wish they had more contact points. I've had to mod mine to brace it at the bottom and mid fork for peace of mind.
@kjlem Yeah, totally agree. I've had to learn to redistribute the weight of my gear to offset it from the front a bit. Saying that, I've got really slack geo on my bike so not sure how 'bad', 'bad' is.
Also, show and tell? Looks like a great trip, how long you out there for?
