South Downs Double: Mike Cotty reports Last week Mike Cotty rode the South Downs Double in just 19h 52m 26s. Now's he's recovered, here's his account of the feat
www.sjscycles.com usually do Ortliebs. They are based down in Cornwall. But so far as I know there is nowhere sells them for significantly less than you would pay in your lbs.
>> Dunno. Ask the distributor. They're very >> helpful. Will - good idea I'll check out their site right now. Ah ok not a lot to see there, I mailed someone about it anyway cheers for that :)
Phil - I did actually check on sjs cycles but I couldn't see any ortliebs :( Maybe they're just out of stock at the moment (or are they there but I just can't see them)?
I was hoping to get a bargain and after searching for 'ortlieb' in thread titles here, I found one link to a 'bargain' for ortieb panniers: http://www.bikemagic.com/forum/forummessages.asp?URN=22&UTN=21338&SP=&V=6 the site the guy refers to though: www.bicycles.de doesn't seem to do ortlieb stuff any more (and I can't see the english version of that site he mentions either):( The post was *ages* ago though (over a year), probably they also stopped stocking them.
Stephen: I did have a look through all the cycle shops listed on bike magic (from the side panel <----------- here!), including cycle surgery - but couldn't find ortlieb panniers there... I'll have another quick look now see if I missed them on the site, otherwise I'll give this chap a call.
Ahhh DOH they do have ortliebs... cheers mate :) Seem very reasonably priced too (and they do yellow rollers hehe:). Much obliged, cheers.
Phil cheers again, another site for the bookmark list :)
Does anyone have experience with the Ortlieb carrier system that converts the pannier into a rucksack? Is it quick enough for commuting? The only alternative I've seen is the Vaude Cycle 25, which appears to have the rucksack straps attached already. Thanks, Nick
The difference between the Ortlieb back roller classic v back roller v back roller plus v bike packer classic v bike packer plus seem rather marginal? Is it worth paying more?
