Would it be completely sacreligious to do this? Can anyone vouch for the arkel attachment system? I dig the idea.
I can't vouch for the Arkel system but having researched panniers lately, people like Arkel a lot. It seems like a solid design since the hooks are aluminum and they adapt to different tube thicknesses with no inserts. I just sold some bags that I liked except for the attachment system and wished I would have seen these first. It would have been a nice retrofit.
BTW, I bet the first picture of the panniers is hiding a huge smile.
