Topeak Panniers
Welcome to the forum on the Road to Santiago by bicycle. Here you can share your dream of making the road to Santiago, or you can help others with your experience. I need a wallet that will last me for the Camino de Santiago from Roncesvalles, not too expensive, I'll buy some better for next year. (Now there's not much money). A month ago I finished the road, and I had a little trouble at the last moment with the bags, because I take a double, so I had to buy a new rack and topeak panniers and hastily. I bought the Topeak, the wallet 140 brown of the soul, but I have to say they come kidding. Took to put half the time that my colleagues with rigid. I have to tell you three things. The first is that if you take the Topeak, noses purchase the waterproof, 12 € more. I get the water you can not see if it rains hard. Two, the space. Optimize it, took me two days to get my hands on them properly. They have the same capacity as others had already tried. And the last. In botched plan, I found a bicigrino wearing a double, had put on a grill rack bar and there, caught with hooks, carrying his luggage, but yes, quite limited. I have a Topeak portabltos deubter panniers and no problems are perfectly compatible. The that I have cost me in 2007, 84 €. But there are other brands and other models also compatible with topeak panniers and cheaper. Search online, you'll see. A greeting. Thanks for the info, you do not know any more than two pictures and comments. What if, I think, is that the topeak panniers carry more weight in the center and not on the side as Ortlieb and that's what I like. Ortlieb understand that they are of better quality. . . We test two versions of this bag in our trip around the ATV BUL Lure mountain and at the exits Journe: Micro and Medium. We have t happy. They are quite practical use thanks to the system including attachment (see below). The Aero Wedge bag is not waterproof, and when it rains lightly moistens the interior. The medium has a system that allows for accordion that stretch the volume of the bag, or to easily enter the hardware and then zip the fold to compact volume, is a good ide. The bags are strong. The fabric is rather strong (nylon coated with Dupont 1000D tflon) and some areas are plasticized. The interior consists of a main volume and a small mesh pocket, elastic and can fix the hardware. The microphone also has a small side pockets for storing cls Allen for example. Systm fixing: The system setting (F11) is very convenient, it allows the bag dsolidariser bike very easily. It is often convenient to avoid dropping the hardware on the ground by digging in a horizontal position (fix the saddle). It is fixed on a support which remains attached to traditional saddles (two longitudinal tubes). But some stools (SDG) will integrate directly start the systm Topeak. The bag is also fixed to the seat tube via a velcro very easy to remove and replace. Amliorations possible: we would have seen a double zip sliders. If the edges of the zip taient lightly elastic, it would force the closing less-clear at the time of the closure when the bag is filled. Tench (there are versions in tench Topeak, we will try to test them). This bag is quite spacious, even with the extension. It can carry a complete kit with a room air Repair Tool and it will remain in place. In BUL, we put a little more hardware (the tent pegs, etc. ). . . . .
