Tried it today. Worked! Went on a ride with the family today. Was able to bring a ton of food. Simply put one of those cooler grocery bags in the backpack and 4 blocks of that blue ice. Filled to the brim with food! Felt like the smartest guy on the trail while everyone else was enjoying granola bars and warm water😎 Next up, lashing sleeping bags, pads, tents.

Mountain hardware bags often do not have the two plastic gear loops: I am going to experiment with the bungee hooks and wrap them around the large hand carry strap at the top . Hopefully they don't wiggle around too much while riding. I will report back. And thanks so much for this tutorial! I knew there had to be a way.

When a bag is not tapered like a pannier you need to place it a long way to the back of the rack, to allow heel clearance; and then it is surprising how far the bag can curl round the back of the rack and foul the wheel. Altogether it is a much more challenging task than you make out in the video.

All the stresses are handled by standard pack stitching. It would fail in no time on roughish terrain. The rattling could be problematic.
@milderpilger33355 жыл бұрын
That's true. Not a perfect solution, but a quick and dirty one. I use this method for crosstown riding, no backpack has failed on me so far. This of course cannot replace some decent panniers.
@garymitchell63722 жыл бұрын
The straps take the weight either way - on the bike or on a person. If the stitching isn't strong enough it'll fail on both. I wouldn't expect rough terrain to make a difference unless the pack was very heavy or the straps weak, but you shouldn't buy a cheap pack anyway.
@juliakbrown4 жыл бұрын
This is very smart, I appreciate the video. Do you ever have problems with the backpack's straps getting caught in your spokes? Looks like you have waist straps on the pack that could flop around - do you have an easy way of securing them?
@milderpilger33354 жыл бұрын
Hasn't happened to me so far, loose straps that are long enough to be caught in the spokes can usually be put away in smaller pockets on the outside of the backpack. Easiest solution: tie them together :-)
@fishmut4 жыл бұрын
Spotted something for others to think about, if the D buckle the bungee goes through on the bag are to big the the bungee won’t hold the bag up, the bag will just slid down nothing to hold it up, this looked good but a bit dodgy.

@matthewmusial51402 жыл бұрын
WRONG. The lower corner of pack will tangle with spokes on every bump. I mounted backpacks on bikes, but with stiff plastic panels "permanently" attached to the bike on both sides of rear wheel as a barrier to prevent pack and spoke contact. Attach with bungees up to the seat, but more as a Shock ABSORBER, so the pack bounces. Into Mexico, I put the bicycle on buses (1993) and after arriving at destination, toured with backpack and guitar.

I ride the bus/walk and also bike instead of having a car, which gives me quite a bit of relevant experience. The notion that most backpacks have those D-rings and also a thorax strap doesn't work out in my experience. Some do, but by no means a majority. I use other means to carry bicycle cargo, but my current project of using a bus to get into the areas I want to go camping and then the bicycle for the last ten miles or so calls for something like that.

It isn't a knot, it's just looped round itself at the bottom of the rack where it fixes to the frame. Straps/bags do catch the wheel sometimes but it's fine as long as they aren't long or loose enough to get tangled. Might wear a hole though.

What is that black bundle of fibers going from the left side of your rack down the right side? Is that to provide extra support to the rack? Also, is there any instability in carrying this on only one side? I carry like 15-20lbs in my backpack (books computer food) and am concerned about stability. My milk crate topper with the backpack moves around an awful lot when I ride.

The bundle of fibers is just another bungee cord that was on the rack. You don't need it at all. The "instability" just as if you're riding with just one pannier, I haven't had problems so far. Depends on the weight you're carrying of course - just test it out. Bungee cords are cheap, good luck!
