I'll probably be in the market to upgrade mine sometime this year.Apertomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00148516503920019073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37888568.post-10106468924166372502008-05-30T22:26:00.000-05:002008-05-30T22:26:00.000-05:00This was my first day with this set.

On the other side I have a multi-tool and then my underwear, socks, pants and shirt for the office. Occasionally, I'll put lunch in one side or the other.<BR/><BR/>When the weather is in transition (near freezing in the morning, warm in the afternoon) I have to carry work clothes AND shorts on my way to work, then on my way home I have to carry my work clothes and the cold-weather riding gear I used in the morning. Add a lunch bag on top of the rack and <A HREF="http://kc-bike.blogspot.com/2007/10/loaded.html" REL="nofollow">you have this.</A><BR/><BR/>The wedge pack under my bike seat has all the stuff I need to fix a flat. Otherwise, that stuff would be in the panniers as well.<BR/><BR/>I'll get some decent photographs of the new panniers on and off my bike this weekend.Noahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15271155305943176738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37888568.post-10450640039663806232008-05-30T22:15:00.000-05:002008-05-30T22:15:00.000-05:00Those look like nice bags.

Just last week I cleaned mine out because it got drenched in the rain. I left several things out thinking I didn't need them but have already wished for a couple of those items. Do you use these on a daily basis?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
