Please ensure that the rack is perfectly level when fitted. Just for my sake.

When I fitted the rack to my Galaxy, it took about 6 goes to get it level. And looking at it now, it still isn't! How can it be so hard! Mine has rods that pull out and swivel to get it level, and then you tighten the nuts. I'd get it perfect, tighten the screw, hey presto, tilting!

Try fitting odd tyres until you get it level?

Come on, Longers, leave the racks alone - you're meant to be buying panniers, remember ?

Go and get them ordered !

I don't know what they are like with panniers but Vaude definitely have a good reputation for quality when making hiking rucksacks, so I'd imagine they'd be good

I bought a pair, just waiting for them. Haven't even got a rack yet, I have a Kona Fire Mountain.

Can anyone recommend a light relatively cheap rack to go with this?

Thanks.

They seem pretty good, i know they dont have loads of puches but that doesnt worry me too much. Was going to get em tomorrow along with a basic rack. Should i also be fitting a mudguard 'underneath' the rack to protect the panniers?

Thanks andy

Mrs HJ has a pair of those and is very happy with them...

We've got two pairs of Vaude panniers, at £95 for each pair, and I think they're brilliant value for money and so well made (German engineering at its best). If the EBC ones are made by Vaude you should be very confident in 'em!
