Pannier Bags

[Merida002]

Hi All, can anyone tell me where I can get a set of pannier bags in Cape Town? I have looked at the Cycle Touring website but am looking for a bit more of a selection and that I can actually have a look at before buying. Thanks in advance.

Maybe try a bike shop that deals in Topeak. They may not stock panniers, but you may be able to browse a catalogue and get stuff ordered.

Good luck with that. I have been on a major mission to find and have discovered that SA stores do not have and are not geared for touring like european stores. Email the cycle touring guy. Otherwise, do what we are doing: convert a day pack.

Thanks, that sounds like a good idea. How do I do that?

Get a 25 or 27l daypack then use toe clip straps to attach. Just ensure that there are no loose straps or anything that can get in the spokes. Also, make sure that your packs have strong shoulder straps (we are going to attach the bag on at the tops of the shoulder straps and at the bottom as well). Havent bought my bag yet but have worked out how to attach.

I have also searched but can not find a descent shop in GP. I think the best bet is to order from CRC. They have a nice selection of topeak panniers, but unfortunately you have to go by the pics
