That reminds me of something I was thinking about the other day.Thanks. It's actually bigger than it looks. The pod on the sides extend down like regular panniers soI can get a full size Kryptonite lock into each side without compromising the space in the main bag. Apparently it's 7.3 litres capacity which equates to a pair of runners, trousers and and whatever else I can get in between the gaps.
I mostly use one pannier on the rack at the moment, and a Fahgettaboudit on the other side, thus:
Some days I'm travelling with a few lunchboxes to keep me going (I'm on a tight budget). Is there such a thing as a "half pannier" or something like that, so I can carry some stuff using just the rear half of the rack on the Fahgettaboudit side?
I have a second full-size pannier and I could just put the Fahgettaboudit in the pocket of that, but it would be handy to just leave the lock as it is and just put on an extra half-pannier when needed.
Apologies if this appear to the ramblings of a lunatic or something.0 -

So if I understand you correctly you're suggesting the lock as depicted plus a half pannier on one side and a full pannier on the other side? Sounds too fiddly for my liking. Then again I'm not renowned for my patience.

It probably does seem a bit fiddly, but I like the lock that way rather than in a second pannier. I can leave it attached pretty much permanently like that (apart from when I'm locking it, obviously), and just attach a half-pannier for carrying surplus items.
Anyway, I've never seen a "half-pannier". Do they even exist?0 -

I think this guy could be on to something. But if he mounted the lock in reverse he would have a place to put his lock AND a set of homemade tri-bars.

Actually I might go home and put on the tri bar mounts and see will they take a bike lock.
Apologies this has strayed wildly off topic....0 -
