Pannier Rails for X-Challenge.

[Timpo]

I have two different types of luggage that I use on the trail trips, for the enduro sized bikes I have a Giantloop Coyote, and on the 990Adv I use Wolfman kit. Both sets are perfect for my games.
On my X-Challenge though I have not been 100% happy with the Giantloop, many due to the location of the exhaust silencer causing the bag not to sit right, pushing the bag up and outward, so when standing on the pegs (in Tesco's carpark ) I can feel the bottom of the bag on the back of my left leg.
So, I want to use the Wolfman bags on the XC. They should fit to a number of different pannier rails, I just need to know the options that other XC owners are usuing regarding rail designs etc.....

I've moved away from giant loop as well. The bag is a good idea, but it's a faff packing and unpacking everything on a daily basis. I can put up with it for a day or two, but on long trips it just becomes a bind. I've just fitted hot rod welding frames to mine, and picked up some magadan panniers in the black Friday sale. Followed this arrangement for a 9 weeks a little while back, and it worked very well and was a lot less hassle.

Also liked the look of the hepko and becker racks. They look similar, and I hink they are slightly cheaper than the hot rod offering as well.

I have the h&b rails and like them. Work well with the waterproof wolfman bags (which are quite small). Relatively quick to dismount when you want to take them off.

I have the H+B panniers fitted to my XCounty. Bike is now up for sale, if these fit the Xchallenge I will sell them.

Cheers Dave.

I also wasn't happy with my Giant Loop on my X Bike. So fitted HodRod Welding rack, very strong and well made, stiffins the rear up a bit too. Keeps number plate and standard mudguard steady too so clean jacket! Have Magadan panniers bought used off her. Like them too. Also impressed with the look of the Mosko Moto products
