Explorando el ciclismo de larga distancia y de alta resistencia: elección y uso de diferentes tipos de alforjas para bicicletas

  What are the main hanging bags for heavy loaded long distance? It's nothing more than a pannier bag as the main bag, with a front bag, a triangle bag, and a tail bag as auxiliary. The function of each bag is different from each other.

  Small bag to store valuable and easy to take small items, such as cell phones, cameras in the front bag (also called the first bag);

  Triangle bag or tail bag to organize tools, charging treasure, flashlight and so on.

  And clothing and other traveling items are basically stored in the pannier bag.

Classification of panniers:

1. From the structure of the bag to divide

Pictured above is the 1+1 Side Hanging Bag

The picture above shows 1+1+1 n-type panniers.

Divided into 1+1 that is, side hanging bag (can be single independent), 1+1+1 n-type panniers, each other is as much as possible to be used in combination.

2. Divided from the way of fixed to the shelf

Tethered fixed bag

Panniers with plastic fasteners

They can be categorized into strap-type panniers and buckle-type panniers. Strap type panniers generally use elastic rope or velcro straps, which are generally used for sewing type panniers more; buckle type panniers are fixed to the frame using suspension buckles, the whole package is almost no other straps, so panniers, generally waterproof panniers on the use of more common.

3. From the waterproof performance of the bag

fully waterproof

water-resistant

Divided into full waterproof, that is, waterproof level up to ipx6-7 level, for full waterproof panniers, that is, all-weather can travel without seepage of water panniers, generally is the use of waterproof fabrics, through the high-frequency voltage process made. The other is waterproof level panniers, this kind of panniers is non-waterproof fabrics through the sewing process sewing and become. It is generally only resistant to light rain.

The above picture of the front pannier for the front pannier, rear wheel shelf pannier for the rear pannier, generally speaking pannier refers to the rear pannier.

It can be divided into front panniers and rear panniers, that is, the front rack bag, rear rack bag, there are other aliases, such as the front side of the bag, the rear side of the bag.

No matter before or after, all need rack support. Front racks are less common, and front panniers are a little less common. Generally speaking, the front pannier is smaller and more delicate, and the rear pannier is generally larger.

This is the riding characteristics of the decision, if the front wheel is too much force, affecting the handling, which in turn affects the safety of driving. Therefore, the front pannier is designed to be more compact, to find a balance point of capacity and size, generally about 10-12L one, it is more common.

Classification of Tail bag:

Bicycle tail bag is categorized in various ways.

From the capacity of points, there are small, medium, large, large, ultra-large, the capacity of 1L or less for small, 1-2L capacity for medium-sized, large is more than 2.5L, and some even up to 15L capacity, which is ultra-large.

1.From the fixed way to see, divided into two kinds, one is the fastener class, a kind of magic belt class, fasteners steel rod class is generally made into quick release more, and magic belt is generally more than three combinations.

Velcro-bound tail bag

2. From the tail bag on the shape of the division, can be divided into no backbone type and rigid skeleton type, some tail bag only fabric, no internal support of the skeleton, while some of the internal inlaid sewn Pe board, with the role of supporting the shape of the hard, and even some of the use of thermo-pressing molding, the use of eva + pu combination, the whole shape of the very streamlined and fashionable.

hard shell endbag

Personally recommended the use of a variety of bags to disperse the load, do not recommend using too large tail bag, big tail bag things sink the whole car's center of gravity is more back, it affects the handling, you can consider the use of the bag placed between the handlebars that is, the head bag, and the frame of the front triangle position of the triangular bag, etc., and the upper beam package(also called the upper tube bag), is not enough to carry a small bag (commonly known as riding bag, capacity is small, the design of close to the body, the wind resistance reduced to the lowest) is also not a burden. (minimum) is not a burden, the specific needs of what depends on the amount of weight.
