  Hi ,All you cycle /Campers .

Doe's anybody know where I can get Front Lowrider Pannier Cycle bags . Size Approx    Two x  Lx40 Wx30 D15 Cm.  Reasonable prices .

I cant afford the very expensive well known makes like Caradice .or such like.

As I just bought 2 x front alloy front panniers for £10. as there were no nuts /bolts or brackets .

Any advice I would be greatful .

Cheers

a little hard to advice when i dont know what bike your trying to fit them to . looked at the panniers in lidl's yesterday and they may work as front lowriders £14 i think with roll tops . but beware of cheep gear ive allways gone for Karrimor and all 4panniers of mine and the mrs's are still going strong 15years and a round the world trip latter

creek 2 peak is on the bag  the bike i use was a built it myself so not a factory bike I can only theirs not another one like it,  made it over ten years ago only ever chaned the tyres and the grips it is my regular ride,  sadly cant remember the forks maker understand it a difficult one,

No Suspention on any of my cycles, did try one once but didnt like it so only hardtails,   the front forks are real straight no bends at all. 

Thanks everybody for you Tips /Hints .

I did see the reasonable priced twin pannier bags . At Lidl

But they seemed to be to long .And with the lowrider panniers they would touch the ground .

My bike Is an old Steel frame1970  Raleigh 10 speed dropped handlebar touring bike . I've had It 35 years .

Its near enough Indistructable . So the pannier bags will need to be nearly the same size as the front Pannier racks .

Cheers

   Many Thanks John . For all your tips . And very good knowledge of loading panniers with the correct distribution /Ratio.

Your Cycle looks nicely balanced .

When I get the front panniers and go on a jolly . I will let you know ,how I went on .

Cheers

Tony .
