I think some panniers will come in handy for extended trips, Oxford ones are the obvious choice, how do they fit exactly? Any superior alternatives?
Thanks! |

I've got the oxford humpbacks. They work fine even with high level pipe + pillion + loads of crap bungied on the back rack.
If you use tailpack and panniers you can fill in the gaps with more stuff too ![]()

Yeah, it'll be for me + missus going touring. One rucksack won't be enough.

We've managed plenty stuff in panniers + rack + tankbag. Enough for a week camping without expanding the panniers or tankbag.
What bike is it and what exhaust? I only got the humpback ones because of high level pipe. Normal ones are far cheaper.

I went away for 5 days with camping gear + gf. Camping crap was on a rack, panniers and tankbag weren't expanded and we had **** loads of room still.
Just get lots of bungees and bungee nets. They'll hold anything if you put enough on ![]() They were the basic oxford jobbies |

Ahh looks good!
![]() Any type of rack better than the rest, or all much and such the same. I have oxford tail pack + panniers, but theyre the first time ones (cheaper) and dont fit together very well.. ![]() |

Well the renntec one of mine had a sticker on it suggesting a poxy 5kg weight limit. Obviously it works much better without the sticker.
There are better ones out there.
