Anyway.
I bought a pannier rack and fitted it to my Pompino. On a "loaded" commute (I have to take everything with me as there are no storage facilities at uni), I soon found that if I try to stand to take a hill the front is all over the place.
I get home and weigh the panniers at 10 KG.
Anyone else find this? Is it me? the frame? or what? How do touring bikes manage? (but they have low gears and so may not stand as much as on a fixed).
Anyone else noticed this at all? I was half thinking of getting a Kaffenback as well but may discard this if it's a frame issue.
