I'm a big fan of North Street bags. I've used their Route Panniers for a
couple thousand miles of touring and they have held up really well (Shawn,
I think I bought them on your recommendation), and I have a Belmont
backpack I use all the time. I had a Woodward backpack I picked up used in

Thanks, Patrick! That looks like a really nice water bottle and it’s bigger
than most. I couldn’t resist the red Dahlia color to match all the red
hearts on my Betty Foy. I didn’t realize I had REI points so this cost me
less than five dollars Roberta.

Whoops, I got confused. The REI bottles are insulated stainless steel, not plastic. I have both these and the Elites.Sent from my iPhoneOn Feb 28, 2024, at 10:48 AM, Patrick Moore wrote:Thanks, Benz; I have a couple of the Elite ones and yes, they're very thin but they have that all-important ful
Hi Jay,
If you like leather saddles but a B17 is (maybe) too wide, have you tried a
Brooks Professional? The construction is similar but they're about 15mm
narrower than a B17, IIRC. The Idéale 90 and Berthoud Galibier are also
both nice narrower leather saddles. The Pro and 90 are my two favorite
I want to jump in here on one of my pet issues: "squishy" brakes are *not*
a problem provided they still stop well, and squish can be indicative of
good braking. If they feel stiff, all that means is that you don't have as
much mechanical advantage as you could, because of design or setup. If more

I'll preface this by saying I know saddles are highly subjective, and what
works for one may not work fo you. What I wanted to ask about is "general
thinking". Just wanting to confirm some thoughts I've had about this...

I have the RH CP's and I don't think they are all they are advertised and
are not worth their high price.
The pads are extremely difficult to adjust and RH does not provide a tool
to hold them in place during adjustment

Thanks everyone for the input. The 32 liter size and good reviews has
convinced me to purchase the North St. Bags Woodward. Disciplining myself
to take only necessities is going to be the biggest challenge I think. I am

Will stated recently that the R50 is discontinued, so grab one while you
can if you want one.

Hey all-
I've used North St Bags for several years, both their more basic panniers
and also a convertible backpack/pannier of theirs, an older model I
believe. I used a set of regular North St panniers and the convertible with
its non-converting mate (I had them made custom) on several tours in
Thanks, Benz; I have a couple of the Elite ones and yes, they're very thin
but they have that all-important full-cover lid. I wish I could find some
of the old ones, typical waterbottle style except for the hinged full-cover
lids.

Patrick: i just have the Bivo in the pop-spout type. They are a little
funky with the air straw thing, but I like them. I am careful not to leave
water in them over a period of days because the lid/straw is finicky to
clean.

Hi Robert,
I used the North St Backpack Pannier for a few years and really liked the
design and versatility. If I was ever going to go back to a
pannier/backpack setup, this would be first on my list of bags to use.
Highly recommended!

I have a 91 PBH and rode a 64 Clem L for a couple years that felt a hair
too big. I now ride a 60 Platypus that fits much better. (Obvious different
geometries/rides - plenty of that discussion on this board.)
Still got the 64 Clem L frame if you're looking! I'll make you a deal

them.

I have a couple of their panniers as well as a trunk bag and a hip pack
from them. I daily wear the hip pack and it's pretty worse for wear after
one year but I beat the ever living crap out of it (it's their ecopak
material.) I've had two of the Route Panniers 24L bags for probably 2-3
years n
I hope to attend also.
