LisboetaThe bags on the rear rack are the basic accompany for every touring biker. Rolling bags are the standard form of construction: easy to handle and highly water-resistant. Therefore my first bag is a very classic pannier. This is my basic version. Improvements and additional gadgets will follow soon. The bags are made out of extremly robust PVC tarpaulin. Hot sealed seams ensure high water protection and long durability. All spots where water could theoretical leak in are covered by rubber seals.
The rear wall and the mounts are made out of highly stroke resistant polypropylene. The positioning of the mounts can easily be adjusted in 6 different positions along a slide.
The mounts consist partly of rubber buffer which make them more flexible than normal sharck tooth systems. The inner side dispose of a stopper so that the tube of the rack is fully encircled by the mount. Another adjustable hook on the lower part ensure a high stability on the rack. Through that the bag is much better hooked onto the rack than with a classic shark tooth system.
In compare to high end products this system is still quite basic.
But so far, even on dirt roads and short trails the bags stayed solid on the rack. And in case: there is no problem an elastic expander could not resolve. And in the worst case the mounting system can always be exchanged to most of the systems on the market. Thanks to the asymmetric design even bigfoots as I am got enough space behind the feet and doesn't hit the panniers with the heels. Due to that the panniers got a left and a right side.
