Hi everyone, newbie here, both recumbent and this forum!
A couple of weeks ago I got a Challenge Mistral with what looks like a challenge original rack. Once I get a bit more confident I'm planning on using it as a commute bike, and need to carry laptop/change of clothes over a hilly (Devon up flats) 5 miles.
It looks to me like it will need either special panniers, it some sort of bracket to stop the panniers hitting the rear wheel. How has everyone got around the issue? Or am I wrong and the panniers will fit fine?
Thanks for any help or ideas.
