Bagman Information Site

Bill — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 17:50:01 +0000

I came across an interesting page this morning. “Carradice Bagman Problems ” analyzes some issues with old Bagman racks and then goes into the reasons that these racks exist and information about mounting and carrying options for Carradice bags.

The site is plain but deep. Poke around a little and you will find all sorts of esoteric bike knowledge. Recommended.

Philosophy InTrans pannier

Velouria, writing in her ‘Lovely Bicycle’ blog, reports on her time with Philosophy bags. She summarizes:

Philosophy panniers are high quality, well though-out, versatile and classic products that are well worth their price and are unlikely to disappoint.

Here at Wallbike, we sold out of our first order of Philosophy bags surprisingly quickly. We are waiting for the improved 2012 version to go into production.
