I use a Carradice Super C shopper in black duck, twinned with a Carradura pannier in grey with red trim.
Is this offensive to anyone? If so I don't care.
I am pleased with the Clikfix clips.

Loud gear changing clicks! Why do he more expensive bikes and groupsets seem to be really loud? Is it because the brands are satisfying their customer's need to be noticed?

Just one! Probably on the wrong side!! And it's a front pannier on the rear!!! I may now turn it upside down to become the fully unacceptable-unipannierist.

There are topics to just steer clear of. The Mod’s are, I think, quite tolerant folk but it’s some members that are the problem: some people are both totally unable to accommodate views not matching their own and are somewhat belligerent.
Don’t fret, it’s OK to: ride a simple old bike; ride slowly, walk, rest and admire the view; ride off-road; ride in your raincoat; ride by yourself; ride in the dark; and ride one hundred yards or one hundred miles. Your bike and your choices to suit you.

Yes it's on the wrong side: you have the weight of the chainset and gears on the R, so put your pannier on the L 😉

But then I put a bar bag on the saddle of my bamboo bike, so who am I to dictate? ☺

Well, you know what I can't abide? Rucksackers! Don't they understand anything about the necessary lowering of the centre of gravity of a rider-bike? But worserer are the riders with plastic shopping bags dangling from their handlebars, especially when these bags are of different colours and sizes. I catch them up and give them my 38 minute lecture about the matter. I think it persuades them. :-)

Thread drift. You start off reading about squeaky brakes, hop to the end to add your contribution and find that the 47 pages in between (added since yesterday) have wandered off-subject and now concern the best way of worming pregnant ferrets.
