Do
rear pannier and racks add alot of weight to the back of the bike? How hard would it be to move it around with them on? (Put the bike on the trunk)
I've seen saddle bags with water options but not sure if those are big enough.
My nice three stay per side Blackburn rack is about 1 lb. Each one of my small paniers weighs 1 lb. each one of my large panniers weighs 2 lb.
Ready for a long ride but not with the bags full I had 15 lbs. including the weights of the two small panniers in the bags last time I weighed them. Panniers come off the rack quickly and easily. You just take them off before putting your bike on a car rack.
