Re:

Well that's a 1st for me, I've NEVER seen panniers on a Klein EVER. Can't even remember seeing one used for touring either, how comfortable were they?

BTW Davroos whats your location?

Re:

To get panniers on a Klein, you need the right rack

This was my Rascal before it cracked. I rode the Camino del Primitivo twice. Five day rides and the Ruta della Plata which was 13 days, 1025ks.

My girlfriends Adroit

We had a lot of problems with the beam rack, so we now used a Kiwi brand that has since been sold to Thule

My girlfriend still uses the beam rack everyday on her Rascal commuter, whilst I use the Thule version on my Top Gun commuter

I am based in Greater London

Re:

Brilliant ................. so you like Klein then :shock:


I picked up a Pulse Comp frameset (Trek) :? but not started it yet (I've never owned a Klein)


Cheers mate

Yes, we like Kleins !!! If your Klein has eyelets, you are ok, but ours don't, so we have to do what we have done. Look up Thule Pack-n-pedal racks. The beauty of these is that they can go on either the front or back. The only problem that we encounter is that we bought our Ortleibs in 96 and they don't latch onto the racks in a traditional way so we use compression straps to keep them to the rack

Re:

Today-Tuesday-Chilly mornings these days, but it warms up into the high 60's F. by noon-plus, the inevitable climbing immediately at the start of pretty much every ride around here heats you up quick! So, up about 900' to the West today...

Re:

Today-Thursday-Thanksgiving Day-Sunny and mid 60's F. The annual Appetite Seminar Ride took place today. A yearly event here in Fairfax since the mid 70's. There were 16 riders the first year, with between 500-1000 in recent years. Always a good party and a hard ride with lots of climbing to build up an appetite for the big meal later. A spot on the ridgetop before the descent back down is the Triangle, at about 1500'. Every year a group of guys manage to bring a trailer with free food and drinks to this spot. This year featured pancakes, bacon, coffee, and whisky! Had a great time hanging out with some old friends...
