Hi Leslie, I used the TourSacks once on a Riv S24O attached to a baby Hunq.
They were roomy and easy to grab the pair as one unit off the bike. A tent was
easily attached to the deck with the d-rings. And they have more volume (I
think) than the Backabikes. No complaints whatever for that applic
I'm on the fence about these.I was wanting the TourSacks, but at their
price point, didn't want to jump half-heartedly on the olive, was going to
wait on a khaki-tan version.(And, even if they appeared today, might
not be an instant buy) These Backabike Rear bags do come in tan,
Thanks, Leisl! That's exactly what I was afraid of. Oh, well -- it's not
like I need another pannier! :-)

Hi Elisabeth, the Backabike bags aren't the fastest on/off but not the slowest
either. I'm sure a handy person could do a hack and make it super easy/fast.
Specifically, to take them on and off the rear rack, you have to rethread the
Irish strap through the grommets and then around the rack and
Liesl,
Wow does that bike look great!
Sean,
I have the front HAR/HAB. I've had water enter the front bags in heavy
downpours (when commuting). I put my clothes in plastic bags... problem
solved. As it's near the front hub, there's a lot of water exposure from
fenders, wheel, brakes.
Liz,
It c
Can someone report on how easy they are to take on and off? I'm less
concerned about how much they shift around while on the rack, but I tend to
take any pannier I may be using on and off several times a day, sometimes
loaded, sometimes unloaded.
Thanks!

Hi Sean,
The straps came included with the bags. Great looking bike by the way. I
have some bosco moose bars that should be arriving soon and am looking
forward to trying them out :)
Sincerely,
Richard

Oh yeah, one more thing. Did you have to purchase the Irish mounting straps
separately or did they come with the bags?

Thanks for the insights Richard and Liesl. I'll be attaching the bags to a
Surly rear rack which is certainly stout and hardy. I've since moved the
Carradice panniers to the front and with the potential addition of the
Backabike bags, along with my Shopsack in the Wald and my Lowsaddle

Hi Sean,
I have a pair and think they are fantastic. I have not had any problems
with them shifting about but I haven't really loaded them up that heavily.
I posted a few pictures of how I attached them to the Clem Rack.
