Pannier for Ti

[vickster]

I'm going to add a rack to the Sabbath and need a pannier to go with. Want something more urban than touring and the Ortlieb back roller urban in grey has caught my eye (I wanted a purple one but few and far between and the one I'd spotted a while back seems to be unavailable now)

Thoughts on the urban?

Can't go wrong with Ortliebs, really...

Cheers, do any of them have carry handles and a shoulder strap?

 

[StuAff]

All Ortlieb panniers have carry handles (really for lugging them short distances only, at least when loaded!), nearly all have shoulder straps included as standard. I think the City models (I have a pair of Back Roller City) are the only ones that don't come with a strap, but they still have loops for you to use one. Urbans have a strap. https://www.ortlieb.com/downloads/datasheet/en/backroller_urbanql21.pdf

They seem to have addressed the only real problem with Ortliebs by adding an internal pocket; their old panniers were a bit cavernous :-/

Thanks both. I’ll try to look at the options in store

Thanks. I think 10l might be a little small though to take shopping, stuff for a day out or weekend away?

Not quite as stylish but this 20ltr is available from Bike24.

Yeah. I like the Velo shopper but it’s hard to find in purple for a sensible price. I need to see in the plastic and would prefer a U.K. supplier if spending so much

The velo shopper is available from Cyclestore from the 28th Dec, still not cheap at £85!

Indeed. I don't really want to wait. I've ordered the rack which I'll get fitted next weekend, so I'd like a bag to go with. The poor bike is being neglected as I can't carry a lock and as I'm going to be off the bike for a bit after knee surgery second week of Jan, I'd like to get this sorted asap

Which rack have you gone for? I've been asked what I want for Christmas & it's a toss up between ti rack or ti stem & spacers

Hope the knee surgery goes well & doesn't keep you off the bike(s) for too long

Just a silver tortec ultralight, £20

I don’t personally like the look of a Ti stem with black bars. Ti seatpost looks the ‘dogs’ though!

The Tubus stainless steel rack is an amazingly good match for my titanium bike.
