touring and panniers
Hey everyone,
I'm going to tour Europe on a Tandem. We have small panniers for commuting and small trips. But we're looking to go for 4 months. Any ideas what volume will be needed? We don't intend on camping, but we will have to do some cooking. Also, should we get fully waterproof panniers like Ortlieb or the Serratus aqua-nots? --If anyone knows links to a good touring site that would be helpful! Thanks! Emillie (Brad's stoker) |

Emillie (Brad's stoker) Check out the mailing list: http://www.phred.org/mailman/listinfo/touring Briefly, truly waterproof panniers are a good idea, but you can always just line your non-waterproof panniers with garbage bags. Be sure to check out the Arkel line of panniers: http://www.arkel-od.com/ --Josh |

Emillie (Brad's stoker) Lots and lots of good touring information from people who have/are touring is at www.crazyguyonabike.com where tourists keep their journals, problems encountered, how they solved them, what worked, what didn't, what they ended up mailing home because it weighed too much... -- Insanity has its price -- Please have exact change.

Emillie (Brad's stoker) Lance Rushing has put together a very nice comparison of just about every pannier on the market. It appears well researched and informative. Perhaps it will help: http://www.lancerushing.com/bicycling/panniers.cfm ------------------ Naveed Near-Ansari I speak for myself ------------------ |
