Shawn, are the two panniers attached to each other or are they

instead of being sewn up into something more useful. Nevertheless, I

Adding a carbon belt drive system to an existing bicycle is not an
easy proposition:
Belts are continuous and cannot be separated like a chain. You must
retrofit existing frames or have a frame manufactured where you can
separate the rear triangle to get the belt installed. I think one of
the best

Thanks for all the great suggestions. Please keep suggestions coming, as I'm

effective) methods. At this point I think the nikwax could be an easy
solution (no hair dryer in the house).
I'm also grateful for your positive word
Please do! I'm a complete beginner to touring and am completely clueless
