I met a guy in a Montana campground tossing his front packs into a dumpster. The crosswind was killing him and the wind was forecast to keep up all week.
I can ride no handed with 2 front panneirs and a dry bag on the rear rack. No idea how long i can as i havent tried for more than probably 20'.
My front bags are actually rear bags. I could just toss em on the back, move the dry bag to the front rack, and that would solve the wind issue...i suppose. At least it sounds like it would.
Your boy in montana had both front and rear, im guessing?...if he didnt even need the fronts (sounds that way since they were tossed) then cool. Otherwise whad he do with the stuff from those bags?
