Can't you just move the panniers back on the rack, rather than getting smaller feet?

Do people actually watch rugby?

Can't you just move the panniers back on the rack, rather than getting smaller feet?

they are all the way back... i will try some jiggery pokery.

if not, jim (hillbilly) offered to lend me his smaller panniers. i might take him up on that kind offer if i can't sort something out with the big'uns...

Or how about try tweaking the angle at which the rack sticks out the back, i.e. tilt it forward a little, that could make all the difference. They're meant to be flat, but a few degrees won't hurt, provided you secure the attatchments in such a way that they won't slip forward on the rack. Also, use some bungee hooks diagonally across the panniers to compress that corner that's the problem, if you see what I mean, before you pack things in the bag....

What do you mean you have no bungee hooks?! (preemptive guessing game)

i had already thought about something like a bungee to compress the corners... i think that might be the way.

correct preemptive guess on the bungees. who sells 'em? there is a b&q on the way home... i think they might.

Umm go to your local fleabag market, or maybe pound store, hardware or surplus store?

Shall I teach you how to clean your penknife with grass later?

The clips all the way to the back, and the panniers right at the back of the rack?

You must have MASSIVE feet.

You could get these

i might need new knees when i got there though...

i will try some tings tonight...

The weather report just keeps getting better, now saying that it won't drop below 5 degrees on Saturday night. I may pack my mankini.

Cue Dale.

sweet.

enjoy the ride down, see you at the site folks

Can I come?

Yes.

The tourer set up. note the thermarest camping mat acting as a rather fetching top tube protector:

aw fuckit. Mashton if you're bringing that^, I'm attaching the trailer to the bmc.

Can I come?

Yes.

I thought this ride was fully booked ? I've been turning people away who wanted to come

:p

Guys, have a great adventure...

You do realise that tricity is now going to bludgeon you. Likely as not with scotts assistance.

I have two bikes. One has gears but isn't really a tourer.

Until now....

I don't think that's going to be a good enough defence.

Just remember, tent canvas is not a defensive layer.

is anyone else doing it fixed ?
or is everyone going geared ?

I'm doing it on my track bike so fixed and no braks.

I'm doing it on this;

That's not me...

Oh hi, Scherrit.
