My son will be big enough by next summer to go on some short tours with me, but isn't a strong enough rider to carry much gear (at the moment anyway). I was thinking if these wouldn't cause too much trouble on a regular bike, I might keep them and use them when he is with me to carry the majority of the gear. Has anyone tried using TT-84 panniers loaded on a regular bike? Should I try it or just try to get my money back and get something different?
