  There seems to be more people riding front only panniers for tours with claims it aids against 'speed wobble' on long/steep decents. I currently ride Rear Ortleib Roller Classics on a rear rack and am wondering if it possible/good/an option to run them on the front instead of buying front specific pannier bags;

  Has anyone done this?
  How much weight can the front take?
  Is it suggested?
  What front racks do people recommend?
  What is the difference between front and rear panniers except for size?

  I'd be keen to hear experiences or recommendations

  My touring bike is a 700c 2012 Surly CrossxCheck with Surly forks

  Cant make today, stuck in the library and havnt got around to fixing the blow out.

  Does anyone has a old/spare 700c inner tube which I could patch up and use? Id rather not spend 5 quid on a new one. I could pop by the court later and pick it up later as im on campus. Can give a few quid.

  Hello, its Matt from the past few weeks.
  Did people play today? I assumed it was cancelled because of the rain. Was really looking forward to playing.
