Thanks for the heads up!

I have a good pannier bag, but it is a bit small.
Got a pair of huge panniers at Lidl today. They seem reasonable quality for an amazing price - at £9.99/pair it doesn't really matter if they don't last forever.
Wife went mad and bought yet another helmet and some lurid lycra.

Max load is about 30 kgs, but in any event it is advisable to remove the battery first to avoid joining Rupture Club.

Every time I see the word Crivit I think of a frog

I bought 2 saddles , the Air Comfort and the Medicus . I have also sent for another Suspension seatpost to conduct a bit of research with these saddles by easily substituting them for the present ones on my Ebikes .

I've been having panniers bags in the back of my mind for a while now. These jobs from Lidl forced the issue. Used one of them today, it was very easy to fit and allowed me to use the bike for a little shopping trip rather than having to use the car.

For £9.99 they are a bargain!

Well I have now tested the Crivit Air Comfort Saddle and the Suspension Seatpost Combination on my Fat Tyre Folder and the ride is very comfortable . The Air Comfort Saddle can be pumped up to hard with 15 presses of the inflator bladder or in my case just 3 presses to give a soft setting . The Suspension Seatpost is a Promax with the adjusting screw set to the softest setting . The Promax at £14.95 and the Lidl Air Comfort Saddle at £7.99 must be the best bargains to get a nice comfy ride .
