So its locked. however all it takes is someone to break the plastic hasp and the bin is free. my thought is along the lines of fitting longer screw to the rear mouting screws,maybe a bolt with an eye on the end?. then fitting some type of wire eg <a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3M-X-4Mm-Laptop-Pc-Bike-Security-Cable-Leash-Padlock-/400271354804?pt=UK_Laptop_Accessories_Anti_Theft_Devices&hash=item5d32082bb4" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3M-X-4Mm-Laptop-Pc-Bike-Security-Cable-Leash-Padlock-/400271354804?pt=UK_Laptop_Accessories_Anti_Theft_Devices&hash=item5d32082bb4</a> or thinner and using that to lock the bin to the bike. any thought welcome custard on "Panniers" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5580#post-62260 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 14:32:24 +0000 custard 62260@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ @ Kaputnik Once you "switch" to panniers. You find the amount you "need" to carry increases exponentially to fill all that extra stowage space you have! so true! Was at the gym today. had my gym gear,lock etc after the gym I went to pick up an item at John lewis (you can wheel the bike right into the collection office. very handy) I could have done with another BikeBin So I think I will have to get another :o custard on "Panniers" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5580#post-61158 Wed, 14 Mar 2012 16:26:01 +0000 custard 61158@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ and one for the pannier regulars to laugh at. I simply wasnt prepared for the feeling of weight on the bike i fitted the BikeBin,chucked my lock,camelback and a litre of cleaning fluid in went to move the bike and nearly fell over :o steveo on "Panniers" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5580#post-61141 Wed, 14 Mar 2012 15:52:28 +0000 steveo 61141@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ Looks like it will do the job, for trunk bag like that you can usually get away with a seat post mounted beam rack. But this way you've got much more flexibility. Like the boxes, attach them to the side of the trolley and do all your shopping in Sainsbury's with the scan and go thingy and you never have to pack a bag. custard on "Panniers" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5580#post-61123 Wed, 14 Mar 2012 15:28:53 +0000 custard 61123@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <a href="http://photobucket.com/new_rack" rel="nofollow">http://photobucket.com/new_rack</a> I'll let those experienced in panniers decide on the design couple of pics of the BikeBin too custard on "Panniers" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5580#post-60935 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 21:19:52 +0000 custard 60935@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ I'll post pics tomorrow for critique Might swing by TBC for a BikeBin tomorrw Smudge on "Panniers" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5580#post-60930 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 20:53:42 +0000 Smudge 60930@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ Cool, hope it works well :-) (Can't beat getting new cycle toys ;-)) custard on "Panniers" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5580#post-60928 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 20:39:10 +0000 custard 60928@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ right,its here! turns out the boardman can use standard panniers so if i do have to upgrade,its a cheaper option :D never having had a pannier rack before,I have no comparison It seems decent enough. has a light/replacetor mount on the rear. The bag thing on the back seems good too locks in/out easily custard on "Panniers" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5580#post-60464 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 12:55:56 +0000 custard 60464@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ lol,Im hoping my weight I carry decreases if the panniers increase! or the bike will collapse! anyway,as it turns out I ordered the eBay one the mrs had a friend round * looks around,no not looking. she is smokin hot!* who saw the pannier and liked it so she said she will buy it,if its no good to me so no loss to me either way.

I'm sure they must all be a simialr geometry only some more heavy/sturdy than others? custard on "Panniers" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5580#post-60446 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 00:04:53 +0000 custard 60446@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ I must admit. on the days wheres its a slog I envy those with no bag on the back Smudge on "Panniers" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5580#post-60444 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 23:57:42 +0000 Smudge 60444@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ Having had a good look at google images, it looks very like the rack (and mudguard) mounts are well rear and clear of the disk brake area, so quite likely a "normal" rack could be used. In agreement with Kappers over the ebay rack. I use one of these: <a href="http://www.wiggle.co.uk/tortec-expedition-alloy-rear-rack/" rel="nofollow">http://www.wiggle.co.uk/tortec-expedition-alloy-rear-rack/</a> I would suggest perhaps something similar, (from your LBS?), a drybag and a couple of bungees would be cheaper and more versatile (and much better when you decide to hang panniers from it) :-) edited to add: Once you get used to using pannier/panniers it's likely you wont want to go back to a backpack ;-) custard on "Panniers" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5580#post-60442 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 23:49:51 +0000 custard 60442@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ hmm maybe. TBH Im not looking to carry massive weight.only get stuff out of the camelbak for work. just want the weight off my shoulder as I heal kaputnik on "Panniers" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5580#post-60433 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 22:59:38 +0000 kaputnik 60433@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ @custard in most humble of opinions, the rack doesn't look up to much more than carrying that 15l of top-bag. And certainly £70 would be a LOT to carry only that. The bottom fittings don't look very sturdy, and it lacks some of the side tubes that rear racks have to keep the pannier in place / stop is sliding back/forth. custard on "Panniers" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5580#post-60429 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 22:10:12 +0000 custard 60429@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RP-69-98-Bontrager-Rear-Rack-Trek-Trunk-Deluxe-15-5L-Bag-18-/130659632466?pt=UK_Sports_Leisure_Cycling_Bags_Panniers_SR&hash=item1e6bebc552" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RP-69-98-Bontrager-Rear-Rack-Trek-Trunk-Deluxe-15-5L-Bag-18-/130659632466?pt=UK_Sports_Leisure_Cycling_Bags_Panniers_SR&hash=item1e6bebc552</a> what do we think to this?

Their flexibility to absorb odd shaped loads is favourable for me. crowriver on "Panniers" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5580#post-59718 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 21:57:10 +0000 crowriver 59718@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ Very good price.
