I installed these racks on my bike tonight. After another day of sweaty back commuting, I decided to just stop in REI on the way home and buy a pannier. They had the Ortleib I talked about in my previous post, and a timbuk2. I decided to go with the Timbuk2, as it had enough room. I actually put everything that was in my backpack, in the messenger style Timbuk2, and it fit ok.
I still might keep this uber- cute dutch pannier, if I need to stop on my way home for groceries or something. We'll see.

Yay! Installed.
