Yeah it looks a bit odd, foam padding to stop the plastic strip on the bottom of my Ortileb panniers rattling when I'm on the rough stuff. Need to stuff some padding into a bit of inner tube and cable tie like I did above...

I did wonder, I use throwovers as there a bit quieter. Less capacity and not as easy to take of though. Stopped using my Altura rack pack as the noise was driving me mental.Yeah it looks a bit odd, foam padding to stop the plastic strip on the bottom of my Ortileb panniers rattling when I'm on the rough stuff.

New old stock 1952 Selection! online bicycle museum.
A New-Old-Stock bicycle, one of 12 Selection bicycles found in a Paris garage in 2006.
This superb French tourer is a new-old-stock bicycle. Until it was assembled just before I bought it in 2007, it had remained in its original packing box since 1952.
The chrome has deteriorated over the years: the handlebars and rear wheel could do with re-plating. The grips are also damaged. But the paintwork and other components are still in good condition. The buyer of this rare machine will be the first to ride it!
