The CARRADICE Super C Limpet Front Pannier

  

The Limpet variation of the Super C front pannier is a clever way to mount front bags to a bike without a rack. They will fit almost any conventional bike, especially ones with suspension forks, and ride at low-rider height for good weight distribution.

Each bag consists of one large compartment with quick release buckles that secure the lid. There is a handle on the top of the bag and a drawstring skirt at the top of the opening.3M reflective material is placed front and back.

These bags are made from traditional, waterproof cotton duck. They have a 28 litre capacity per pair and the measurements are h32 X d16 x w27cm. They weigh 685g each.

 
Mounting these bags couldn't be easier. The silver aluminum tube fits through a sleeve on the pannier and the hub skewer is passed through a hole in its end. There is a generous velcro strap that secures the bag to the fork. Finally, the black "U" shaped piece slips onto the silver tubes and locks the whole unit into a secure system of rackless panniers.

What Customers Have Said About These Bags

(Comments, reviews, and essays are very welcome. Both by us and by other cyclists considering one of these saddles.)

"I was just going through some papers and found the order that I placed with you about a year ago for a set of Carradice Limpet front panniers. I just
thought I would let you know that they have worked out very well. To fit them to my bike I had to get a little creative with a rear wheel skewer (the
front skewer was not long enough) but once installed they worked out very well indeed. I have been on a number of touring trips with them and
something I appreciate a lot is that they have a higher capacity than front panniers that I have used in the past. So, thanks for a great product."
