Hi Kip, I haven't tried that specific combo, but I have used Ortlieb panniers on a Tubus rear rack, with my large SaddleSack sitting on top. It worked fine in terms of everything being securely attached etc., but there was zero access to the contents of the panniers without removing the SaddleS

Hey Kip, Yes. See here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/32311885@N07/9725707307/. Does it limit access? A bit, but not practicably. As the Large Saddlesack sags its wings, I have to lift it up to get things in and out, but that's not much of a bother, and when I use them, I only put stuff in them

Deacon, thanks for the pics. My question was answered perfectly! I think that you're bike is the one I saw in some previous pics. You did that great tour with your daughter, if memory serves. I still plan on the Riv Rendevous in Colorado in two years time. It will be excellent to see your

Kip Remember that the floor stiffener on your Saddlesack Large is removable. Maybe you don't need the stiffener when the Saddlesack is resting on top of the Toursacks, and without the stiffener, lifting the Saddlesack off of a pannier for access would be a little easier. The Saddlesack would

Good tip on the floor. I didn't think of that. I'm thinking more and more of going with the Frost River panniers. They seem really nice and a less expensive option. On Wed, Sep 25, 2013 at 4:25 AM, Bill Lindsay wrote: > Kip > > Remember that the floor stiffener on your Saddlesack Large is re
