Well my husband just went bush with his brand new bags
http://www.ivanhoecycles.com.au/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=5 which are
the same as those shown in the pic. The bags were great for me when I did a
1700kms ride last year so we invested in another set. The next problem was
that he just couldnt find a rack to suit - he had heel clip no matter which
ones he tried. In the end he STOLE the rack of my 700 for the trip and they
seemed to sit on them nicely without heel clipping. On the first day of a
remote 12 day trip the rack broke, luckily he had trusty cable ties with him
and then one by one all the clips on the bags broke! At that point out came
the fencing wire and the bags were tied to the rack for the remainder of the
trip. In the lead up to this ride he tried several different racks but all
seemed to do the same thing - he had heel clip.He tried other ppls bags and
got heel clip also so it isnt just the bags.
He rides a MTB. I rekon his bike frame just doesnt want to comply - the
bike is a Mongoose Pro Rockadile.
Can anyone suggest a good bike rack for a MTB that doesnt have that problem
and is also very tough? The other guy on the trip has a topeak tourist and
now i have a new one of those also but they were no good on his bike either.
I will be sending the bags back as I think that all 4 clips to break just
isnt good and it should be exchanged under warrenty.
Thanks
Kathy
