I'm looking for advice on a set of panniers or a rack-pack to get for general commuting/running errands; something detachable with handles/straps that I can carry around would be the best, and preferribly something with a lot of cargo space for store-runs.
I've had my panniers for two weeks now and find them extremely useful. Be warned though, fully laden they effect control of the bike quite noticeably. Uphill is understandably harder going and downhill is noticeably faster. I find cornering quite sluggish, sharp turns are a lot harder.
I also find riding over sleeping policeman with bottles of beer clanking together in the panniers really brings sweat to the forehead.
