I traded a jaded pair of Ortlieb Packer Pluses with fellow lister Joe Broach for a pristine pair of Ortlieb Rollers, 'cuz I don't need high end camping luggage, I need high end grocery luggage. I used them for the first time this afternoon, to carry 35 lb of groceries, and mail to Mom.
I have a pair of Banjo Bros Market Panniers, which are very large and certainly not bad for the $50/ea price. But MAN! -- those Rollers are NICE!!! So easy to attach to the Fly! So easy to remove! So carefully designed! So elegant in operation! I hauled them into Sprouts this afternoon and shoved them onto the conveyor belt along with my fruit and veg and meat and such. The girl bagger said, "Unusual!" and I agreed. 35 lb, and they are hardly more than 2/3 full if even that. I bet that I can get two/2/II/dos/deux/do/mbili full paper sacks in each, if I wanted to and if my Fly and my Ram (OT content) could carry such weight. Oh: and riding the Ram for the first time in weeks, I was once again struck by how easy multiple gears make climbing steep hills with heavy loads. Hoooda Thunk?
