Hi all. Going to the darkside and investigating panniers for my commute. Like the look of the Ortlieb rollers as need to ensure safe and dry transfer of paperwork to and from work.
I see the Ortliebs have a cool attachment mechanism at the top, and also an adjustable 'hook' at the bottom of the pannier to stop flappy panniers. What I want to know is does anyone have recommendations for a compatible rack that will have bars for the hook, and also be the correct diameter for the top connections?
I'm on 700C non disk brake, and wondered about the Topeak Super Tourist DX or Tortec Tour rack.
Also bonus question: what is a 'sprung' rack good for??
Cheers!
