I've run both a high and low load on the front of my Hilsen at different times. The high load (basket or slicker sack) makes the steering a little wobbly. It's not a deal breaker and it's not bad. It does require a little extra attention though. Panniers on a lowrider makes the steering really stable. I can no-hand it. That was with smaller front specific panniers. Interested to hear how a bigger load not quite as low handles.
Regarding panniers... we've had Ortliebs for a couple years and they've served us (my wife and I) well but we needed a couple more panniers for family bike camping so I bought a set of Arkels this spring. Have only used them a few times but I really like the zipper closures and external pockets. Beautiful Bombadil BTW. --Andy On Monday, July 9, 2012 11:59:07 AM UTC-7, Leslie wrote: > > I know the PlatRack was designed specifically to go with Mark's Rack; > > but I'd be curious to know if anyone has seen if it would happen to mate > up to a rack like the Cosmo... > > Anyone tried such? > > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
