Question Recommend me panniers

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.
