Marty, that's a beautiful bike. What is that color called? And I love the R-15. It's not as heavy or massive-looking as a Big Back Rack or equivalent. But it is very versatile. I've used those side supports to strap all sorts of things on it; net-panniers, the SaddleSack's flat pocket, my tool roll, my candy bar bag, a portable stool... it's just great.
I've been using my TourSacks on my R-15 rack with my Hillborne lately. That combination is about perfect; the R-15 isn't the strongest rack out there, but then the TourSacks aren't the largest panniers. So you aren't likely to challenge the R-15 with them unless you're carrying something really dense. I enhanced the TourSacks useability by adding some small Nitto band clamps on the dropout eyelets to loop the bungee-ball cord through for lower attachments. I see the Bombadil has even more eyelets in that area then my Hillborne. http://db.tt/iJzlXVH I would imagine the lower attachment points would help with other panniers too. Yours, Thomas Lynn Skean That should help with many panniers, I think. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
