New Luggage

[stevierst]

I've used the old oxford panniers and tail pack every weekend for many years until recently, they're great! I used to wrap old socks or cloth around the bungees where they touched the paint. Fleece material would be better.
I'm mot sure about your new Velcro strap and d ring system, but if you throw enough bungees on, it ain't going nowhere! I regularly strap a 40+kg kitbag to my bike with bungees, and it never moves.
