Mounting of panniers on the bike

Most bicycle bags are fastened with a clip system on the bicycle. These clips can either hang on racks or on specially provided horizontal struts.Thus, the bags do not stick out in curves from the bicycle, some cases are still being held with a clamp to the carrier bars. What can not be clip it, is simply hooked. Alternatively, there is to do is clamp closures. These can be found, however, usually only in the context bags or handlebar bags. All have the advantage that they can be solved quickly and from your bicycle.

Panniers for rear

The rear panniers have in most cases not have much impact on the focus of the bicycle.Depending on the payload weight and capacity (volume), the bicycle can indeed tilt in the state, when driving itself makes this hardly noticeable. Especially if you use two bike bags and the weight compensates by an optimal distribution, this presents no problem. The bags, already written above, often attached to the designated horizontal struts. When you install the bike bags should especially make sure that they are not too far slip forward and to come close to the pedals. When pedaling, the pedals should not be encountered with the foot to the bicycle bag. For Porter there are also those bags that you put on the luggage carrier. We know these designs from newsboys. Here, both bags are firmly interconnected.

Bicycle bags for front

Few bikes have installed by default mounts for front panniers. So you can fix the bicycle bags at the front, you need a special mount, a so-called Lowrider; This is fastened with at the axle bolt or on the bicycle fork. Loads to the front pockets too, may have a material impact on the driving behavior. In curves on a sandy bottom, the front wheel easily slip. Also, depending on the load, change the steering behavior, but this is rather negligible. At the front, it is advisable to always travel with two bicycle bags uniformly distributed load. Overall advises Ole von Muhrad.de to 60: 40 distribution of the weight. 60% should there be packed to the front, as the rear axle is already burdened with our own body weight. Other sources speak of a 2/3 to 1/3 distribution on the rear axle and front axle. As you pack the panniers properly, you find the way, even with Ole.

It is important that we secured the packed bags on the bicycle and a test drive makes it.Everyone feels drivability otherwise, a rule of thumb, while indicating, however, this must be individually questioned.

A distinction is made, such a partnership pockets that are located within the bicycle frame and that one on the crossbar, the top pole anchored. these bags are fastened usually with a strong velcro. The downside: in a classic Damenrad this frame bags are not to be fixed. The large frame bags take almost a whole space of the bicycle frame and are not much wider than a few centimeters.
