Bizkit031 Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 The only people who poo-poo riding with a "fanny pack" are the ones that haven'y tried it. Beats a backpack hands down any day. When you consider that you look like a knob in cycling gear anyway, a moonbag isn't going to do you any more harm. It's the way forward. You're even going to see them at Enduro races soon. Saw some guys riding them in the EWS.

Mackie Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 The Palos is a great idea. I'd use it anytime, I use a "bum bag" when riding the dirt bike, much easier carrying the weight on your hips rather than on your back, the straps irritate my shoulders, so this is a great solution.

xnadu Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Not sure but i thought they always advise a person to cycle without music in your ears cause you have to hear whats going on around you when you cycle or what - is it ok to cycle with music in your ears nonky 1
Iwan Kemp Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Not sure but i thought they always advise a person to cycle without music in your ears cause you have to hear whats going on around you when you cycle or what - is it ok to cycle with music in your ears Most people I know who do use them only do so when mtb'ing and then only while climbing. On the way down you want to hear yourself screaming like a girl. I don't exercise with music - will be using these on my motorbike and then only with the GPS. Don't listen to music when I ride.

xnadu Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I was listening on radio where they spoke to a lady that is a organizer of the 94.7 race and a person called and asked if they can cycle with earphones and the lady said yes .Its strange to me because if somebody wants to pass or something you wont be able to hear what he says - to me its strange that the lady said that you can cycle with your music.
Iwan Kemp Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Yeah, in an organised event like that I definitely wont. I know the Cape Town Cycle Tour does not allow the use of earphones.
Iwan Kemp Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 The Palos is quite popular overseas,been looking for One for a while now but agents in SA can't even return Emails. Now there is the Palos4LR as well. According to Camelbak site this one is the normal Palos not the 4LR Definitely the 4LR we have on test.
Bizkit031 Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Definitely the 4LR we have on test.Definitely the 4LR we have on test. Yea I looked just over a month ago at Camelbaks site and they only had the orange one on there now it's been changed and it has the blue as well. Spoke to the agents 2 weeks ago and they told me that they won't be bringing them in to SA,so I got one from Bikeinn.

It seems to be the answer to my requirement. Does it sit well on the hips without too much movement...? Thanks, Justin Vaalhaai 1

Does it sit well on the hips without too much movement...? Thanks, Justin It's awesome and does have a bit of movement but works well for short rides. You will have to import it as the agents don't want to stock it. nonky 1
